What is this wire?
Hi guys. just opened up my console and found a wire that had been cut and duct taped so it was nice and perfectly safe 
also, are there supposed to be two of these lights for the shift indicator?
I don't have a FSM yet so i'm not sure how to go about tracing these wires. can someone please help?

There is a place for 2 shift indicator bulbs but only 1 was used by the factory. Some have wired the other one to be hot and put in another bulb but it makes the indicator too bright. I have read that you can put 2 LED bulbs in there and this makes the shift indicator easy to read and gives a distinctive look.

I dont think so, the console light works fine. Im referring to the orange wires in duct tape. There's also a black wire with the wires but it isn't in the tape because it must be the ground
