Help with trunk latch

I am in the process of rebuilding the trunk release mechanism, I ordered new guides from hawks and have it all ready to go. My problem is while taking it apart the wires came out on the striker sensing switch, its 3 wires black,white and orange and I want to solder them back on. I just don't know what wire goes where. Its the piece on the top left- http://www.top-downsolutions.com/rec...h-pull-down-un - Can someone provide me with a picture of the wires going into the switch. Much appreciated

My car doesn't have this style mechanism, but if you look at the wiring diagram in a Haynes manual you may be able to figure it out.

I tried searching diagrams online and couldn't find what I was looking for. Can someone tell me left to right what wires go where.
