Yeah I never said the PWM ground/signal floated, that was the old way Subaru controlled the analog dimming. I guess I didn't finish my sentence the PWM signal does switch between ground and high.

What do you suppose the roughly 4v signals are used for? Are those just regulated voltages for the cluster LEDs?
