Where's the reversing light wire?
« on: May 20, 2008, 11:34:41 PM »
Hiya all,

I'm in the middle of wiring up some extra reversing lights but can't find the reverse wire under the dash. From the wiring diagram all I know is that the wire is red.

Does anyone know specifically where to find it?

TIA

My manual agrees the color (Red) and shows it runs from the switch in the transmission to the two rear lamps, with a spur to the PCM.  If you want to pick it up under the dash, look at the PCM connector.

Why don't you pick it up at the rear, where the existing lamps are?

Is the PCM at the fuse panel in the footwell? I have found a red wire (with silver dashes) that goes down to the rear of the car (found it along the bottom of the drivers door) and starts at the fuse panel.

I don't want to pick up the wire at the rear of the car because my relays and other switches are at the front.

Found it, it is the red wire with the double silver dashes.
