Yep, you are Xactly right... that's how it's SUPPOSED to be, but it's not!
Now get this: He's got the red wire FROM the radio going INTO the Cig+. The normal blue wire that is SUPPOSED to go into Cig+ was off running circles around neon spaghetti (as in, NOT on the cig). NOTHING was connected to the Cig+ EXCEPT for the red wire from the radio. I have no idea how the radio ever worked, but it did... just don't see how it got ACC power unless he's somehow reversed polarity.
Fuse was blown in engine bay, have yet to reconnect radio...
Yes, there are indiglo gauges. I believe they're wired through the radio circuit somehow cuz the backlighting went when the radio did. They have NOT come back when I replaced the fuse tho, can only assume the circuit is broken. The thing is, if you look closely @ the above pic... you'll see that the on/off switch is set to off. I've never flipped that switch to on cuz I wanted to go through his wiring first, but the indiglo's DID light up! SOooooooooooooo, that's why I thought they were for the neons he had cuz I'd assume the Indiglo's simply wouldn't light in the above position.
