Default Overhead console wires



Does anyone know what the wire colors are for the overhead console? I am wanting to hard wire the power for a dash cam and hoping 2 of those are power and ground. 2006 mega cab

I don't have the pinouts handy at the moment, but just get a meter and start testing the wires. I'll see if I can find something from my 05 manual.
I've tapped into these wires before, there should be a +12V and G


EDIT
Here you go

Yeah, those don't match what I have. The black/white is ground and the gray/red is +12v but I can't determine what the other 2 are. Key on or off doesn't seem to change the voltage any.

the colours may be different but the pins should still be the same.

The outer two are ground and constant 12v.the inner two and twisted together and both read about 4v.

Anyways, I just ended up running a switched power line all the way to the fuse box instead.
