Re: wirring

the fuse battery is the hot from the batt. the device goes to your radio it is the hot wire, the other is the ground you can leave it empty and run a seperate ground wire straight to the radio unless the switch has a light in it you want to work. By the way why do you want to put a switch in line to the radio it has a on-off switch of it's own as for the guages don't know what you have there.
