Light Switch In The Ditch
First check the TAIL fuse.
If that’s OK use a voltmeter or test light (the type for testing for voltage, not a continuity tester) to probe the orange wire at the switch.
Is there power there?
If yes probe the brown wire on the switch when the switch is in the on position.
Is there power there?
