You're probably going to have to let the CB gurus in on what radio it is so they can look at the schematic.

Ahhh; hacking a radio like that isn't really a great idea. Hate it when that happens. If it is just LED lights; then what is the big deal? Sorry; I just don't get it or you haven't explained what it is you want to accomplish. . . .

The p.a. function is a useful diagnostic tool. You can do a quick check of the audio section of your radio, mic's etc.

But if you must, just use a multimeter to see which wires have continuity through the switch, while you have the switch in cb position.

First which radio?
If it's a cobra 29, it is usually done by joining the brown and orange together(solder and shrink wrap), cap the others and now the radio is in cb rec only.
The easy way is to use the blank post on the bright dim switch, if you test there with your voltmeter you will see that you have voltage when switched to dim.
