Thanks a lot - I do have a lot of them - the problem is that the power goes into the switch and dimmer and goes through a bunch of circuit boards and gets re-arranged and comes back out and goes all over the place. Its tough to get at them and no hope of trying to follow any of them,

So - knowing that any grey,red wire is a dim control 2v-12v+ makes it a lot easier - NOW _ check it for sure with a volt meter as I did before you wire anything in.

The Green with any coloured stripe is hot with run and on so thats the main power to the gauge as it is also fused. May put connectors on the wires to if I have to pull the gauge I don't have to cut the wires to take it off.
