    Wondering if anyone can help me out with finding the location of this J2 junction for the dash illumination circuit. I'm adding wheel controls but want them to be dimmable like the dash, but can't seem to spot where this junction is to add my wire. Any help appreciated, thanks.

    Looks like upper left corner, doesn't look like it would be fun to get at.

    Just to be clear the dimmer regulates the Ground side of the circuit which is on J3 to dim the lights, the Power side (J2) gets power from the Tail Fuse.

    Sweet, thanks man. I've already got my whole driver's side interior out so just need to take off the air duct, then should be good. I already have the red/white going from my radio to the clock spring, so just need to run the green from the spiral to #6 on j2, then it should head into J3 with the rest of the circuit.

    Will post an update once I get em all in so I can help out the other reg cabs wire these up like the factory. Another user here made a little guide to the main harness wiring for the buttons, but he just had the wheel's lights going to a random power pin, so they weren't dimmable.

    Ended up loosening some stuff on the interior fuse panel which made it pretty easy to get to. It sticks out like a sore thumb since it's the only connector under there with just green wires going to it.
