Pretty sure there should be only one. What year engine/PCM are you using?

Looks like there is a pink and stripped blrown or something like that,
I was told that the light works off a ground?

Thanks

No, the light works off a 12v ignition source, the PCM supplies ground. Its usually a brown wire, so hook it up to one side of the light and a key on power source to the other.

Ok, thats an aftermarket harness. I assume it has a light in it somewhere? If so, the pink is most likley for. The ignition power source.

If you added your own light, hook power up to it, you can get power from a gauge or something, then hook thw brown to the other side, the PCM will control the light on the ground side on the brown wire. What does that pink wire go to if you follow it? It could be a PCM ignition wire or something.
