Use a multimeter or at the very least a test light.

In the middle of this project and dont have the time to run to my shop for my multimeter.

So the color codes for these regularly used wires has never been documented?

I guess you check the wire schematics in the FSM. PITA if you ask me. I'd go get my meter. The right tools for the job go a long way

Good Luck

Wired a sub, satellite radio, and other stuff strictly with the multimeter. Best tool you can own.

Are you still using the stock gauge cluster (boost/oil temp/batt)? There are 2 ignition-12v power and 3 12v/dimmer wires behind it. Made my gauge install cake.
