Default MSD window switch ?'s

i have the MSD digital window switch

i am lookin at the wired to an ECU output diagram....is this the correct one?

as far as wiring yellow OR grey go's to a (-) lamp or soleniod... what the hell do they mean by this? and if i am reading this right which ever i use the other will not be used?

and as far as the +12 volts meaning the batt correct?

and how do i know what wire to tap into for the ECU?

ill pull my kick panel tonight when i get home and tell u the color of the wire to the ecu that u have to tap into. as far as yellow and grey wires go, one activates at low rpm and shuts it off at high rpm, this is the wire u want to use, again ill have to look tonight when i get home to see which color it is b/c i cant remember right now, but the other color wire will make the circuit on, then cut off at the low rpm and stay off until u hit the high rpm setting then it would kick it back on, so that wire will not be used, just tape it up to the side and leave it alone. the +12 volt wire ur gonna want hooked up to a source that is on with the key on, otherwise it will stay on constantly and run ur battery down. when i get home tonight i'll look at the color of the wires i used and tell u exactly how to wire it up.

ok well i didnt think about this earlier today but u need to make sure that its going to be the same color wire since u have a cobra and i have a gt. either way i will tell u how mine is set up. the white tach signal wire is hooked to the green wire with a white stripe on it coming from my ecu in the kick panel, the yellow wire goes to the ground side of relay ur using to turn the solenoids on. does this make sense? if not i can draw u out a wiring diagram. u do not want to wire the window switch directly to the solenoids, always go through a relay. the window switch completes the ground circuit. make sense? the gray wire is not used, just tape it up out of the way. the +12volt wire goes to a power source that is on with the key on and off with the key off. i used the acc wire going to my radio for mine. let me know if u need anymore help and i can draw u a wiring diagram. are u using a wot switch and a relay for the solenoids?

ok i drew this sketch of a wiring diagram out lol. its kinda messy, if u cant understand how to wire it from this ill make a nice easy to read on for u on the computer. this should give u an idea of how u need to wire ur nitrous system up with a window switch though.

if u have aol instant messenger hit me up on there and ill explain it better. same s/n as here. when i wire up things i like to put all my switches on the ground side and yes u definately need to fuse every 12volt hot wire for sure, do not skip that step unless u like ur car catching on fire.
