You'e working too hard.  What Dennis said -- brown goes to ground and
gray/blue (not blue/gray) goes to any gray/blue  wire under the dash.  That
will take care of panel lighting and and the power-on light.  Note that
power to the switch has to cone on the correct wire or the light will be on
constantly.
