Stupid question, but does the dinger go off when you open the doors with the key in the ignition? And also, what light are you checking for voltage? And also try this. Apply 12v to the orange wire with the key on and see what happens. Don't hold it there, just touch it there real quick. It might blow a fuse.

yes the door chimes work, I checked the B piller light for voltage and the underdash light that shines on the floorboard.
How do i apply 12v to the orange wire? with like a battery or something.. sorry thats probably a stupid question, Also when i touch it will fast what should i look for? the lights to turn on or something?

the white wire that comes out of the dimmer switch, set it to dome and check the voltage

ok and i got the black into the "com" and the red into the far right port. Thats right isnt it?
heres a pic of the wires coming out of the headlight switch.
The "white" one is kinda yellow but its the closest to white that i can see, next to the only black wire.

not sure i understand what you mean 5w20
Also i went out with the setting you told me to put it on and got no reading on the white wire with the dimmer switch turned all the way up, or with the headlights or parklights on.

For the meter, black probe on the "com" and the red probe to the right of that one. Set the meter to 20 on the bottom right.
