I spent all my time turning wrenches and know nothing about wires so be patient with me please.

I am replacing a water heater in my motor home and the wires that come from the 12v battery source do not match the standard colors. I have an orange, a pink and a yellow wire from my RV to connect to my water heater switch.

My question is using a multi meter (which I am not good at using) how would I determine which is the "+", "-" and ground? Sorry for such an elementry question but I obviously know little to nothing about electricity. Thank you.

Yes, one at a time, please...
