Default Multifunction switch wire definitions

Does anyone have the description of each wire for the multifunction switch on a '98?
large white
green
large orange
large light blue
yellow
large yellow
large red
purple
black
large black
orange
large green
white
brown
dark blue
light blue
large dark blue
black
large tan
large light green

*by 'large' I mean that those wires are fatter than the others*

I am trying to troubleshoot a no headlights/tailights/dash lighs problem. Replaced headlight control module and did the multifunction switch 'tune-up'. Still no lights. All fuses good. Any ideas?

Ok, so you have two threads going on this now. I responded to the other thread, indicating I sent a PM.......with my number.

RATS! I mean, literally. Thanks Lucky for the offer but it looks like this car has had some unwelcomed residents. Looking up under the dash between the drivers and passengers side I can see some bare wires undoubtly victim to rats. Ive seen this before but only on cars that have sat around for ages outside. I will get this shrink wrapped up and see what happens. Fingers crossed!
