Googling says that the interconnect wire is usually red but sometimes yellow, but I'd like to hear from Smart People here please.
House is 24 years old - hardwire smoke detector wires are white/black/yellow. And a weird plug. I'm tire of buying adapters and want to just use the new wiring harness that came with the new detector.
New harness is white/black/red.
I'm going to go w/ The Google and assume what was yellow is now red?
I'll go old white to new white,old black to new black -- and old yellow to new red.
That sound ok?
thanks!!

Yellow is the new red, or red is the new yellow. Thanks all!
