Well as I've posted before, my dash lights don't work on my car so I have one of those ghetto rigged cig lighter plug accent lights to see it or just use my cell phone for light. When i say the dash lights don't work, I mean the ones that light up the gagues, all blinker, check engine, low gas, air bag and all other lights work on the dash. Also the lights that are supposed to come on as a "backlight" on my temp control(for heat and ac) doesn't come on, but when I press the buttons, those light up. This all started happening when someone put in a new cd player a while back. I was trying to clean up some wires so the interior wouldn't look so ghetto and found that a couple wires seemed loose. I looked under the hood and found these:

Now, I know that the orange one should be hooked to the positive terminal since it has the little fuse connected to the wire, but I'm not sure about the green one and dont wanna mess anything up. Should the green one go to neg or pos?

Thanks for the help guys

Take apart the gauges. Start by takin out all the plastic then remove the gauge unit itself. and make sure evrything is connected or try jiggling sum wires to see if they work. It could also be a bad backlight bulb. You can pick up a new one at pepboys or autozone for like 3 bucks.
