On the schematic, the wire off the dimmer would go to the dash PCB for the red glow. You'd probably tap that circuit at the dimmer where it would also be somewhat near the tach?

Gee...a quick check of the Monsoon FAQ sticky would have shown you all the wires in the stereo harness. The brown wire in the black connector is on/off power controlled by the headlight circuit and the gray wire next to it is the variable power from the dimmer switch. So, if you just want the tach illumination to go on and off with the lights then use the brown wire. If you want the tach to dim with the dash lights, use the gray wire.
