Need help with ARB compressor install (wiring experts check in here!)
Hello all,
I am installing a CKMA12 ARB compressor and need a bit of guidance on one problem.
The instructions say "use a multi meter to locate an active dash light supply wire." I have run the wire to the dimmer switch which contains 5 wires. Which one would I use for the dimmer wire?
From left to right I have:
1: yellow with red stripe
2: White with silver and small green stripe
3: White with silver and black stripe
4: white with silver and thicker green stripe
5: green with silver

I forgot to mention. Since there is power going in and power going out I am confused on which wire to use.

This is the power input for the switch for which the output will trigger a relay? Why don't you just tap an empty fuse slot?

The wire I am looking for controls the light in the switches so they don't blind you at night. Is the green the right one?

I am trying to find the wire that will dim the lights on the ARB switches. The instructions say splice into the active illumination supply wire.
