gauge install questions help
electrical is not my thing and now the Danin directions want me to crimp a male push on terminal at the end of red wire "i do get that" then using a T tapqick slide connector make a connection at the ignition switch ..
Sorry how do i get to the ignition switch i have never tore my steering colum down. help is some one in Sandy Utah that could come over and help willing to pay
Oh I did just finish the G56 and transfer case fluid change yesterday and it went well at 41,500 miles the fluid that came out was not bad still good color and really very little residue on magnet
but i need help above

I woud just use the ignition source from the fuse box. Just tap into one of the fuses that is ignition hot instead of trying to tie into your steering column! I want to say fuse #24 from memory, but that may not be right, be sure to check or hopefully somone will chime in.
Several of the on-line sources, recommend pulling the headlight switch panel, I had to take out a couple of phillips head screws and then T-tap into one of the orange (orange w/black or brown stripe?), will come on with headlights. Take ignition-on power from cigarette lighter.
I just mounted a mini switch in my dash gauge pod....no wire tampering, plus most of the time i like my gauge lights off at night...the local johnny law thinks every truck with guages is a race truck....here in sandy eggo street racing tickets are like DUI's, impound, jailed, and fined plus driving schools...which i fully agree with...but i have never raced anyone in any of my vehicals, but i have been pulled over and "warned" about it just because I had my guages on...
On my '05 I used the ORG/BRN wire at the light switch for gauge light and tapped into the PNK/YEL cigar lighter feed down at the firewall (where the big cable comes thru) for the gauge power feed.
I used the Smaller pink wire with the yellow tracer that leads to the 100 pin connector under the drivers side dash for the switched 12v power source. I also installed an inline 5 amp fuse.
For the lighting-- I used one of the orange wires with the brown tracer behind the headlight switch.
Ran all the ground wires to the same screw under the drivers side dash.
