OK, stay with me here, if you can......

There is a male plug (orange and white wires), coming out of fuse bos, for lighting interior......I also have a rear cargo light.
The cargo light harness has 1 male and 1 female plug.the dome light has 1 female plug.....the 2 under dash lights have 1 fm plug (2 total) and the harness that connects them has 2 female and 1 male plug....the harness that connects the door pin switches has 1 male and 1 female plug.....Every time I try to run everything together, I run out of plugs.Everything does piggyback onto each other...right?
I can either leave out the under dash lights, or the dome light, to make it work....I know there has got to be a way to wire them all up...please help

yeah, cargo light has white and orange wire, just like dome and underdash lights.....cargo light also has piggy back connection, like it goes in line with something else.....Randy C-10 just told me if I need to, just to add the needed connection myself, which I believe I am going to do....I will run the cargo light from the hot in the fuse panel, so it has power to the switch all of the time, regardless of doors being open or closed....I am then going to run the piggy back to the door switches, then to the under dash lights and splice my dome lamp into this, so it will be hot when door opens.....wish me luck

and thanks for replying
