Phone jack wiring
the wires came apart from the phone jack (that leads into the apt) which is located in the closet. the jack had a .
from one source which i'll call #1 (red, green, yellow, black individual wires) it looks like ONLY the "red & green" are wired onto a jack board (there's no cover so it's exposed - the red is going/wired onto one conductor and the green onto the other.
then there are 2 more sources which have multiple wires of many colors. it looks like there are from source (which i'll call) #2 (3 white wires, 3 red wires, 2 blue wires and 1 orange wire - these wires have exposed tips which means some of them were wired to Source #1 (which are the single red and green wires).
the problem is that i have no idea which wires to wire from Source #2 to Source #1.
the 3rd source (multiple colored wires almost the same as source #2) may not have been configured to the jack (though it looks like there are 3 white wires and 2 blue wires that have been used/bare tips @ some point).
so i'd like to wire Souce #2 to Source #1 - just don't know which wires go to the red and green wire on the jack piece.
your advice is appreciated

- unfortunately the wires going into the only jack that was being used are red and gray. very strange. the wires from the source are old school (no white w/ blue stripe or blue w/ white stripe). and it looks like there are 2 sources with all those multiple color wires (probably to have 2 phone lines) and one of those 2 sources was originally connected to the building source (which is just 4 wires red green black & yellow) which had been wired together onto a jack plate (no cover on the jack) they left red and green on the jack plate (no black or yellow) and that's what's there right now. so i have no phone - using the mobile but would be nice to at least get the building intercom to work.Solution #1

Its typical in apartments for the phones to come in through a single source and then fan out to other wire leads to the rest of the phone jacks in the place. However, I think its odd that your 'source 2' has 9 wires. I'd expect 8.
One idea is to take off a phone plate in another room and see if the wire colors on source 2 or 3 match the unknown source wires. If so, then just match the wires that connect to the same plugs in the plates.
