Source of Power

The attached tells you where you can get a 12V source controlled by the ignition and a ground. I don't know how to get the light signal but it has to be in the one connector to the back side of the instrument cluster. You can pull the instruments by taking out two screws at the top and prying on the side with a soft pry bar. If you can find a wiring diagram that would be first choice but you could probe the wires - but I would hate to do that since it involves making a hole in the insulation. You want one that is only "hot" when the lights are on.
