the way i had it hooked up... took it off cause i didnt wanna blow another fuse(i know i did something wrong so why keep doing it??? lol) hooked black(ground) to a screw above the pedals behind the cluster. hooked green(sensor) to blue wire in dash, and power.... to the yellow and some other wire on the bottom plug where there are four wires goin in.. so ya.

on the back of the cluster there are screws with "+" and "-" are those grounds and power sources?
