i took a look like you said rachel but its different from what you were describing; there are no orange wires at all but there are black ones but im not sure where they go. the dash lights for the guages are out too so im thinking they might be on the same line or whatever as the wipers. sorry i took so long to respond but its a backup vehicle so its not real high on my priority list right now. thanks for your help though. also i know the tail and brake lights are in the right sockets because they were already working before maybe this is part of the same problem although im not sure if they all happened at the very same time. .
