Confused with Auxiliary switches.

[Mrwoodmin]

Just installed a CB radio. Located the auxiliary wires under the dash on the passenger side, 2 30 amp wires and two 15 amp wires. I already used aux 4 15 amp for lighting works great. Everything I find says the aux 3 uses the orange and pink wire which I used. Now the issue is aux 4 still works properly for lighting, aux 3 does not turn off the power to the cb radio. The CB turns on rather aux 3 switch is activated or not???? The aux 3 is set for latched - ignition
Thanks in advance

Aux 3 is pink with orange stripe.

You used the orange with pink stripe which is ignition accessory power.

Not according to my owners manual. Discerning the difference between orange with pink stripe and pink with orange stripe can be a challenge. Pulling the Aux 3 / ingnition wire fuses one at a time will let you confirm which one you did wire the radio to.

You are correct thank you, interesting enough the wire has no stripe, but it's working correctly. Thank you for your knowledge.
