Steve,
If all the switches are NOT working then they are not getting
power. I would start
by looking at the lock switch on the console. It should have power
all the time to one side. The other side will depend on if the
switch is in the "lock" position or not.
So it's possible that you don't have power to the output side of the
switch because:
1. The power wire has pulled off the switch
2. The power wire is broken between the switch and the battery.
3. The switch is dirty or broken
You will need a multi meter or a mechanics test light to help you
trouble shoot the
problem.
Test the power to see that it is coming through the "lock"
switch. If it is let us
know and we'll see if we can figure out where to go.
The orange wires that connect to the doors is for the electric door
release solenoid
at the bottom of the door.
Also do you have air doors or hydrolics?
