I dunno man, its really quite simple. The ground goes to, you guessed it, 
a good ground. Sounds like you got that one nailed pretty good. What I 
used was the hot wire for the radio. When the key is on, the voltmeister 
works. I simply tapped into that line. 
You could turn the key off, test a line and turn on the key and if its 
hot, you could use one of them quick line taps. (Taps into a "hot" wire. 
Little plastic dealie thingie that when compressed with pliars splices 2 
wires. Does that make sence?) Well, thats another way to dood it!
