I don't know the WTS color, but , in my musings about installing the autostart I have here have considered hooking it to the glow plug relay instead. That way it gets the full run on the glow plugs. It wouldn't be necesary in summer or if your winters aren't that cold though.

I was told by my local shop that i am friends with the owner that you don't want to hook to the wait to start wire for the reason stated above. When I put mine in they gave me a delay relay that is adjustable from 0-30 seconds so in the winter i can let it warm up longer and in the summer not so long. Hope this helps.

Ron the wire in the connector is a ground, the Dash WTS gets power form the circuitry in the panel. So if you run 12V + to a bulb it will only come on when that ground is closed so yea I believe it would work

If you have the option of a timered wait (10 or 15 seconds will be enough) instead of trying to find that wire, you will be better off. It will be SOOOO much simpler an install.
