Dome light door jamb mess

Not sure if my 72 Cheyenne Super came with door jamb switches but it has them. So when I open the door or close the door the dome light comes on or goes off accordingly. Pretty sure they are stock.

When I bought the truck a year and a half ago the dome light would come on when driver door was open but not the psnger door. That bugged me.....so I looked into to it.

After some mystery work and reading on this site I figured out that the wiring was a bit of a mess down under the floor mat on the driver side where the orange/white (dome light harness) got ready to go into fuse box clip. You can see in Pic 2 that there is only an orange wire coming out of the clip. You can see a little nub of the white. IT should be an actual wire coming out...not an nub!!!

In picture one the orange and white come out of the clip, but the third wire (white) is cut and goes no where.......

Looks like my switch had been cut and spliced and effed with. I bought a new harness from Roger on the board and am going to run it as it looks like mine is messed up. Just want to clean things up a bit.

Is there any way to add the door jambs (white wires) without cutting the main wires again??? The door jamb wires come from the switches in the doors out the kickplate on each side and attach to the white wire from what I gather.

Finally in the third picture there is my old orange/white line (dome harness), a yellow/white wire, and a gray wire. I am thinking the white/yellow is brake/tail light wires and the gray is the gas sending wire?

Please help me if you know and I will continue to search for the answer.
