Yep, battery testing should work just fine.

okay thanks

now just to make sure i would ground the black and touch the red to the positive

 

Yep.

 

You can also test this with an old computer power supply if you have one lying around. Those also output 12V via the 4-pin molex connector. I've used a computer power supply to charge a car battery before. Fun stuff.

my guess would be that orange is a constant 12v supply for using the switch on the domelight.

 

The blacks are grounds and one white is a 12V feed from the door pins, the other from the headlight/dome switch
