Electrical Gurus Need Your Help 96 Reverse Wire
I need to find a wire in the column or behind the dash that gets +12v when the truck is in reverse. 96 4x4 4.0L Automatic tranny.
I could probably go through everything with a meter, but I can't get the truck in the garage to work on it & I can't stand the heat outside long enough to figure it out.
I know someone will have the answer
Reason for needing to find this wire?
I need to tap into the reverse power wire to activate a backup camera input on an in dash dvd.
Rather not tap into the reverse light wire & run it up in the cab as it's getting hard for me to get under the truck
If all else fails I'm gonna have to use a mini switch on a 12v source, but I'd rather not have to remember to flip a switch when I'm backing up if I don't have to.
From what research I've found so far, it looks like there's a black/pink wire somewhere near the e-brake cable. I haven't made it out to test, but could this be the correct wire?

The BK/PK hot-in-reverse feed is in the large bundle of wires that go through the triple bulkhead connectors in the firewall near the e-brake pedal. There should only be one wire in that bundle with the BK/PK color code.
