Default DTA Management Question

got the dta ecu and loom and on the dta loom factory labeled wires etc, I know where everything goes bar 2 wires on the DTA loom i have 1 named power and another labeled dashboard (thats what it says and all i know )

how can i identify ideally and easily which is the power wire and what they class as dashboard on a ford loom ? are all the colours through a ford loom the same, its a fiesta mk3 car with ford loom, and you have to wire it into that ford loom in the bay -

when i removed it from the old car i just cut the ford loom at the furthest end towards the bulkhead for the 2 wires, from what i recall it was orange and a green wire (maybe very wrong) but i just got to wire into them simple as i just need to know if anyone knows the colour of them of which ones they are to identify etc

hopefully that makes sense ?

cheers all

the power wire normally goes to a switched live i think and the dash board is for the rev counter and the shift light that dta supply
