I searched, but didn't come up with anything useful.

I have it down to three wires remaining, from the truck, I have one orange, then from the aftermarket harness I have two (orange, and orange/white). Now, on my headunit I just have a single orange.

Looking it up, it is for the dimmer / illumination wires that I am having issues with. I would presume just the illumination needs hooked up? I am not concerned with dimming the radio lights. So solid orange? I just want to make sure.


[Truck to harness------- (orange)] - [harness from truck to HU ===== (Orange, Orange/white)] - [harness to head unit -------- (orange)]

If my quicky diagram makes sense.

I got it figured out. I left the orange/white disconnected and just taped it off as to not short out. Radio works great, sounds good. Next step some speakers for the doors, and subs.
