have your grounded your radio to the dimmer wire? This wire will show ground when the lights are off but then goes to 12volts when you turn the lights on and adjust the dimmer.

I think blue is actually the power antenna, but I'm not 100% sure on that one, it's either that or you remote wire.. either way it should turn the amp on, but if it's power antenna.. it could turn your amp off if you put in a CD.
