AF guage wont turn off

Ok soo i just installed all of my guages (lotek pod, and RB guage pod)

all the guages work great except for the AF guage that i mounted on the top left pod . soo it comes time to put the things back and i test the guage and it doesnt seem to turn off but all of the other guages do turn off..... It is connected tapping the radio harnes wires

Red wire to Blue/RED wire for 12V (batt)
Black To ground
White to green and orange switched..

now what i am thinking is i need to remove the wire that is connecting directly to the Batt and just leave the one that is switched????????????? and leaving the white wire out of the picture and the blue wire.. leaving only the red and black connected???

also the guage is the Greddy EUGO

Because you fixed it yourself and wrote about the issue and what you did to solve it. Some people would have posted and whined and cried because they couldn't get it to work. And waited for someone else to solve their problem for them.
You sir have troubleshooting skills. That's a good thing.
