Jim:
Disconnect the White/Brown wire to the oil pressure switch. Turn the key on,
without starting the car. The light that comes on is the charge indicating
light, and, of course, the one left is the oil pressure warning light.
The illumination lights should connect to a Red/White wire.
The wires for the rear of your car go between the upper back panel of the
trunk (with the two oval openings), and the outer panel that holds the
license plate.
