quick boost gauge backlight wiring ???

[SlickTalon]

so i did search and couldnt find a sure answer...

i just installed my A-pillar pod and gauges last night. but they happen to light up only when the turn signal blinks. .

this is the write up i followed:

Alex's Boost Guage FAQ

but when i looked at the connector, slot 14 is completely empty(there are only 2 or 3 empty slots on the whole thing). so i improvised and just used slot 2(which is green w/white), and then i just tapped into 13(which is black, and looks to be the thickest gauge wire of the bunch). but it only lights, like i said, when the turn signal blinks.

any help would be great.

or should i just tap into the "gauge" fuse in the box below the connector?

I allways just wired my gauges into a light in the console somewhere that comes on with the headlights. There are quite a few in the center console. HVAC Panel lights for example.

well i wanted to use somewhere on the drivers side to minimize the wire i had to run. if that connector i spliced into worked right, that would have been awesome. but there was no wire in slot 14.

is there anywhere else near the drivers side door where i could do it? like a specific wire. I'm new to these cars and my test light broke.

Closest to the door is going to be the dimmer switch.

Just a schematic should be exactly the same under the steering wheel.
