First of all the jamb wire is white . What you may be seeing is a rusted color white wire . This wire goes directly to the lights to ground them . Could be the connector on the door jam switch may be corroded and not making connection . If the lights work with the headlight switch it is not a power problem . Sounds like you are looking for a grounding problem .

The lights has a orange wire and is 12v all the time . You could test this at the lights just to be sure you have constant power at the lights .
