I connected orange/black to orange/ white w/out noticing

So I blew my rheostat like 3 years ago and finally got around to getting a new one. I still have the orange to black grounded, but the orange/white is just hanging there with a wire nut on it. I am ready to fix the problem, but don;t know how. Where do I connect the orange/ white? I didnt see anything on the factory end to connect to.

Anyone have any advice for a Taco Teammate?

 

I'm confrused

 

Light dimmer?

 

Yes the light dimmer. I have it bypassed to have the lights on all the time. No dimmer and no temp above though.

 

I dont want to blow another rheostat, but when I took it out I saw why I made the mistake in the first place......it looks like the only option

 

How did you 'blow' your rheostat? There is nothing to those dimmers.
