I have completed my install on starter and the service 4wd light comes on after remote start.  I know it is an ignition wire but not sure which one I missed.  The biggest question I have is that the posts on this site claim the red wire is the 2nd ignition wire.  I get constant power in that wire.  Not sure which wire I missed.  I have the green hooked to accessory, RED / wht to 2nd ign and small blue to 1st ign.

First, there may be 3 RED / white wires at the key. One of these wires is an Ignition 2, and must be connected in order to prevent the light from coming on . The correct RED / white wire will show 0 volts with the key in the "off" position. All the other red / whites will show some amount of voltage with the key off.

I have finally solved the ignition wire problem.  I already had the RED / wht wire hooked up correctly but the orange wire must be hooked up to accessory to turn the dash lights out.  I am responding mainly to help anybody else out.  The primary ign should be on small blue wire, 2nd ignition on small RED / wht, 2 accessory wire are required through relay to green wire and orange wire.  Thanks for the help Jeff.
