Oops moment. Need some help.
So I was installing a reverse camera and cut the wire leading to my license plate light. Thinking this might be a good place to hook into for 12 volts of power. Well it didn't work and I cut the wire to close to the harness to splice back together. Now my night time running left tail light is out. The reverse an break light work, just the running light is out. Would cutting the wire leading to the license plate light cause this to happen? How do I fix it? I think need this part.

I didnt do any DIY. Use one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Bussmann-BP-HH.../dp/B000GKEXK2
It plugs in to an existing fuse in your fuse box, and then adds a hot wire to tap off of. The hard part will be getting it to the back of the truck. I used a flexable casing around the wire, and then ran it all the way to the back. I also have my running light wires going through the same tube, so hard part of getting the wire from the engine bay to underneath the truck was already done.
If your harness is only piggybacked of the tail lights, there is no wire that is hot all the time. A 7 pin harness would be mounted next to the hitch (most of the time atleast) and should have a circular plug. That harness would have the 12v wire you need. If you only have a 4 pin, you will need to run a wire back there.
