Body Pan floor plugs were installed AFTER paint so they would be bare galvanized plated steel and these have paint applied from some owner in its history.

Fact check me boys, Do I have this correct?

So the blue was applied outside of factory building-construction.

There has been some discussion about UPC 1 (BODY) / A2 WS Wiper Motor & Linkage, A3 Wiper Blades, Transmission and Cowl Vent panel & RPO Z28 striping and potential overspray on the black linkage at the different plants and how it relates to the assembly process and the potential for this detailing feature.

Just a suggestion (WAG)
In our Electrical world polarity is sometimes designated by the Silver and Copper coloring.
Silver Neg, Copper Positive.

Remember the Radio Shack Clear vinyl speaker wire by the roll, we used to purchase in 1979!

I do not believe it is relevant in the case of an inline fuse-Breaker, as it should operate regardless of polarity or "Relative" polarity.

an Amp is an Amp when it comes to AC & DC current limiting circuit breakers.
