fader control

[krash22]

The fader in a 1982 300D turbodiesel sedan has six wires connected to it: one red, one green, two red-black and two green-black. Where does each one come from and go to?

Thanks in advance for any information.

My guess is that red and green are the left and right signals from the head. The fader may be a dual ganged potentiometer with the Left and Right (red and green) wires hooked to the wipers. The other wires go to the front and rear, left and right speakers. Just a guess, I do not have the schematic yet. Mine was unplugged and now my speakers work, but poorly :-)
