Go to your instrument connections. Pull them, and use your meter or test light on the harness end of those connectors and find which wire/s have power. Record and post the colors.

Well Brown is supposed to be switched through the ignition, so if it is hot at the harness end of the instruments. I'd unplug the ignition switch next. Then recheck it. On the wiring diagram, they will show the Ignition switch contacts in each switch position. That way you can test the switch.
Wiring diagram will be here on KZR, under "File Base" upper right corner of this page.
