wiring color code inquiry
Hello
Does anyone know what color the 'backup light" wire is on a 2004 2500. I would like to tap into it for a backup camera. There are 5 wires running up to the tailight on the driver side and would prefer not to "probe" them with my test light if i don't have to. Salt on our roads eventually gets a way in and corrodes the wires. The 5 wires are color coded as follows:
Black
Green/white tracer
White/lime tracer
White/yellow tracer
White/dark green tracer

Also, the ground wire is usually and solid color while the hot is usually a striped color wire.

Reecegr has it. The wire is WT/LG and if you're tapping into it back by the tailgate you're probably safe. But beware WT/LG isn't exclusive to the backup lamps. DC used that wire color for other functions such as the left high beam. Dieseljunky's idea will tell you for sure that you have the correct wire however I'd probably leave the harness plugged in and use a volt/ohm meter to determine which wire is which.
