Default Multifunction switch wire definitions

Does anyone have the description of each wire for the multifunction switch on a '98?
large white

large orange
large light blue

large yellow
large red
purple

large green

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!
