ORANGE / Black = illumination = turns the lights on the radio when you turn your headlights on.

The blue wire is possibly the amp turn on wire. If it is the amp turn on wire, it connects to the Blue/White wire on the radio.

If there is no ORANGE / white wire on your radio, then you do not need to connect it to anything. Just insulate it and let it be.
