edit B/U lighing puzzle driving me nuts
ok im still scraching my head on this one....
when i got my truck the b/u lights dident work, the fuse was poped so i put in a new one it poped i traced the wirring couldent find the short so i figured it was in the switch on the tranny...that was about 2 years ago and i havent gotten around to it since, if i needed b/u lights i just would flip the switch for the ones mounted on my head ake rack....well today i was installing my new led light strip (the old one quit working on one side so i got it warrentied and it was a upgrade) this led light strip has red and white leds (white for backup) so i fugured ig see if i could fix the truck to make them work
well i put the fuse back in (its been out for the last 2 years) and put the truck in reverce, the fuse dident pop but my DRL's started working but still no b/u lights...anyone know how this is possable i dident think the drl's and b/u lights were hooked together and i dont even know where to start if this is the case
here is a pic of the light strip with the park lights on

RE: B/U lighing puzzle and rear LED light strip
alright i have been out tracing wires all morning, and i havent gotten anywhere... ii was thinking of cutting the wire that comes off the switch in the trans run it to a relay then run the relay to the b/u lights my question is thow i have found a lot of purple/black wires (same as the one that comes out of the trans) some go to the junction box and some go to the PCM so if i cut it am i going to loose/hurt anything else
