Robin, do you have an Assembly Manuel? That is about the only way to trace the wires. I used mine to find/id some suspicious wires. If you don't have one you should consider the investment. I am not at home right now to look it up for you but maybe someone will be on that has their book with them.

orange wire

Where in the harness is it? Under the hood I assume? Can you describe the location and how much is hanging out?

Robin, I will go out tomorrow and look around under my hood and see if I can find this orange wire. More description as to location would help.

The only orange wire in that area is the power feed for the heater blower on a heater-only car, or to the blower relay on an A/C car, but they're nowhere near the starter. There's a yellow wire (might be discolored to look like orange) that goes to the "R" terminal on the starter solenoid, which feeds a full 12 volts to the coil when cranking.

the wire is a small gauge 18 ga, also it is covered in a cloth tube. its on the passenger side(what is left of it) just above the evaporator/heater box. maybe this info will help
