Ok so I pulled the clip out and turned the car to the on position and the gray wire had 12 volts to it. So I pushed the harness back into the computer.

If the Orange light does not come on, you would need to remove the meter cluster to check the bulb and wiring.

Ok I just did that funny thing happened. I tested the white and gray wire that would plug into the information center. I tested the two wires and their is no power going to those two. The two wires would be the ones that light up the cruise control light. If you test the white and gray wires together their is no power. If you test the white wire to the body of the car it has no voltage. If you test the gray to the body it comes up with 8.5 volts.
