Hi, I am in need of your help again. I cannot for the life of me figure out what this is. First off, I am trying to find a ground that isn't connected to run my rear taillights and brake lights. i saw this wire when i was fixing my hatch and didn't pay any attention, but everyone keeps telling me i have a bad ground. it's an orange wire, with would lead me to believe it's hot, testing with a volt meter confirmed this, but I do not know what it was supposed to go to. it is just hanging loose





Thanks in advance.

It's for the rear compartment light, the connector in the white to black wire goes to a switch in the rear compartment panel that allows you to manually switch the light on & off by making or breaking the ground connection. Some setups have a motor switched light. I have one like that but it looks like yours is a manually switched one. The one I have has an additional black wire w/ connector going to the pulldown motor and it internally switches the ground when the hatch is up. Yours has a normal case ground.
