It's a little unclear exactly what you're asking, but it sounds like you're on the right track. If the orange wire is unused (unconnected at both ends), you can use it as a C
wire. Connect the one end to the thermostat's C
terminal. Then connect the other end to the C
terminal in the furnace.
If the furnace does not have a C
terminal, please see this answer for help figuring out where to connect the wire.
According to the schematic, the grey wire should be C
.
