The orange should be constant 12 to the radio. I didn't think they had that until after 82? It's for station and clock memory. The brown is probably on the parking light circuit.
This is the digital radio not the old style could that be why?

I remember your posts from months ago. I must say having restored a few similar projects you have considerable work ahead. That being said- I suggest breaking the work done into blocks, stay focused, chip away, don't get frustrated and most of all Have Some Fun with it ! There are plenty of G-Body Pros here willing to help you so reach out often, and Good Luck !!

That’s my plan, would like to get the little bit of rust repair I have left completed and get the engine and trans installed. Would love to have it up and running by the end of the year. Really not a lot to do to get it up and going I’ve got a lot of stuff just waiting for it.

Spent some time on the driveshaft hump by the backseat as it looked bad, got it all fixed up this evening. Have three small areas I’m going to work on tomorrow and the floor will be done.

Finally feeling some success, just buttoned up the area under the backseat, floor is now ready for center brace and seat mounts. Still got some smoothing out to do along with wire wheeling but no more rust holes.

Such a nice day, rolled it outside and found some small areas in the lower quarters I will have to repair, also got new steering components installed, now to address my ugly upper control arm hardware they were nice and pretty before I put the car in storage.
