Default 88/89 Dimmer Switch?

Just a simple question here. I need to know the order of these wires that go to the dimmer switch.

The color of the wires are:
• Black - ground
• Red/Black - to dash lights
• Red - power

I just need to know which ones go to which pins. I've tried it before, but have either blown fuses or fried the switch.

88/89 crx or civic - any help is thankful!

Get out a multi meter (VOM) and check it. The ground will have continuity with both, but on one the resistance will change. The one where the resistance is constant is the +12V, The one with the changing resistance is dash lights, and the other one is ground.
