Drivers door switch wiring

I have a 72 Cutlass Supreme convertible and I have been trying to get the interior lighting to work. The drivers side switch is not connected to any wiring. Does anyone know what color should be attached, I see a black and a white wire. I noticed the other lights have and orange and a white wire.

White will be the ground for the dome light. The white with a black tracer is the ground for the console lighting.

And there is a 3rd wire for the key buzzer if equipped. The dome light works off of ground provided by the door sw's and headlight switch, the door sw's also provide a ground to the courtesy and map lights. The drivers door only sets off the key minder buzzer. So there are a total of 3 wires.

I am not sure it if is equipped with a key buzzer, I don't see any other wires underneath the dash. FYI I should have said this earlier, the passenger door switch works and all of the light come one as they should when that door is opened. I will check see to see if there is a 3rd wire, what color should it be? This is also a convertible so no dome light.
