What does this orange connector go to?

Upon installing an aftermarket temperature gauge (mine doesn't work) I found an orange connector underneath my dash while putting the temperature sensor through the firewall. It's not installed to anything and it has at least a pink, a blue, and an orange wire going to it, my blue wire has been yanked out of it though. So what is it? Sorry for the shitty picture, it was taken by my cell phone.

This is not the best picture but I still don't recognize the connector, it does not look stock. What wire colors does it have? Could you get a clearer photo?

It could be for an alarm, radio, amp, GPS, any aftermarket gizmo, if it's not stock

Green, black, orange, pink, red, brown, and the blue one has been pulled out....... it's weird, the orange one goes to a buss fuse and without it my turn signals don't work, but the connector isn't in anything, all i can see is that there is a red wire spliced into the orange with a blue protector.

That's a Molex, definitely an aftermarket amateur installation, not stock. The long flat profile of that connector suggests it is for an alarm system.
