'68 Charger

Subject: 1968 Charger turn signal switch. Auto console car.
I bought a repop T/S switch (I think from Vans) it was a while ago, anyway it uses 7 of the 10 ports of the terminal. My repop M&H under dash harness uses 8 of the 10 ports of the terminal that goes to the T/S switch. The oddball wire that doesn't match the T/S switch is the double orange wire. So a double orange wire from the main harness but no mating orange wire from the T/S switch. I traced the orange wires in the FSM schematic and one appears to go to the radio (I'm assuming the radio light) the other orange wire goes to? The schematic just shows it leaving the terminal (see pic #3).
So if my T/S did have an orange wire port, I don't see what purpose it would serve. There is no lighting on the steering column on a '68 B Body. I was thinking about removing the orange wires from the under dash terminal and finding another source to run the radio light and whatever the other wire goes to. Am I missing something?
Pic #1 are the wires from my repop T/S switch (removed from the terminal).
Pic #2 is the under dash terminal that mates up with the T/S switch terminal.
Pic #3 is screenshot of the other orange wire in question.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
