Does anyone know what clor the reverse wire is that activates revers lights under dash, or in steering column. I need to find a wire to trigger a relay for two add on revers lights..

Thanks

 

Kind of like this...




I just tapped the the wire in the left rear taillight and got my power from the +12V trailer light lead. Then added a switch on my overhead console for FORCED ON lighting for trailer hookup...

 

I have never seen lights mounted like that before but I imagine they do the trick Nice diagram for the relay hookup.

On a side note... mopar1973man, do you really have a 42RE in your 96 ram? (look at your sig)

 

Here you go again...


Overhead console (Fog lamps, Reverse lights, and red emergency light)


As for th 42RE I'm pretty sure about it... I had looked up a part for a while back and thats what I got from the look up... (Tryin' to remember!)

 

IDK about the one in the dash, but the one in the rear is purple.

 

This might help this is out of the 2001 Dodge FSM book...

 

tap the backup light in the tailight, to either operate a relay (preferred) or directly power the lights (not the best way). i got a couple of cheap little lights from northern tool which mounted very neatly to the receiver hitch.
