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!

job that was! (Thanx to Dr. Dremmel!)
