Do you mean these are two colors or are they individual wires, IE Orange w white stripe or Orange wire and White wire? Can you take a picture of the connector or at least tell me the color of the connector body and how many wires total are in it. Nissan has some of the worst wiring diagrams out there. I'm sure we can figure it out but as an example, an Orange wire in one connector is a power feed from a fuse, while another orange wire is a signal wire from the transmission.
