    the pink/orange wont work.... the black/grey is for the VSS(vehicle speed sensor)

    everythign i have found online says they did away with it.... for 03-06 they did the smart junction if i'm reading it right and then moved it again in 07+....

    ok hook the wires up in this order and it should start working....

    • Console Power: Grey/Yellow hooks to White/Blue (white wire with blue stripe - truck radio harness)
    • Console Night Dim: Light Blue/Red or Red/Black hooks to Blue/White (blue wire with white stripe - truck radio harness)
    • Console Maps: Green/Orange hooks to Violet/Red (truck radio harness)
    • Console Dome: Black/Blue hooks to Green/Blue (above truck's factory dome)
    • Console VSS: Grey/Black hooks to Violet/Orange (pin #1 of the truck's center PCM connector)
    • Console Ground: Black hooks to truck chassis ground or you could use the OHC mounting bracket as in previous write ups...
