Default How Should the Instrumental Panel Light Connect to the Steering Wheel Light Circuits

Since this is a separate piece of the puzzle, I thought I would start a new thread. (This thread is related to https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=279584 .)

Quick Summary:

The former owner wired the instrument panel light to each of the tail lights so that the instrument panel light would flash whenever the turn signal was in operation as a reminder to turn off the signal.

Questions:

I'd like to get the instrument panel light connection back to the way the car was manufactured.

1) Am I correct in assuming that, under the original Ford wiring, the instrument panel light only operated when the light switch on the steering wheel was activated?

2) If so, how *should* that light be connected to the steering wheel light circuits? Someone mentioned that I could connect the instrument panel light to the ammeter connection, but that would burn the light all the time, correct? That is not how the car would have been originally wired, correct?
