Be organized in your troubleshooting.. Guessing will just send you down rabbit holes. Electricity is invisible, you can't depend on your eyes to see it.. You MUST use test instruments. Something as simple as a test light or as complex as a voltmeter will allow you to "see" electricity. Get one or both of these and use them....
Do you have voltage on the fuse box terminal where you connected the orange wire??? If not, recheck for voltage on BOTH ends of the dome light fuse. Do not rule out the possibility of a bad connections in the circuitry on the back of the fuse box itself.. If you do have voltage on the terminal for the orange wire, check for voltage at the dome light.. If no voltage, problem is an open somewhere in the orange wire.. If voltage is there, you have an open somewhere in the white (ground circuit) wire, OR the door jamb switches, and/or the dome light control on the head light switch..
If you can't find the problem, refer back to post #5...
