2012 ford edge rear defrost wire

Hey guy's wondering if you can help I am installing a R/S in a 2012 Ford Edge and need to tap into the rear defrost anybody know what color wire and where I can tap into?

Thanks John

Think it's the same as 2011.  Here is 2011 Ford Edge info from Omega :

Rear Defrost     WHITE\ORANGE (- LATCHED)          @ BLACK 30 PIN JUNCTION CONN NEAR STEERING COLUMN, PIN # 5

Soldering is fun!

Thanks for the quick response I will give it a shot.

Thanks John

Would this be at the SJB I am not finding a 30 pin connector at the steering column of if you have any pic's of the connector that would help.

Thanks John

Sorry, no pictures.  Haven't done a 2012 Edge yet to be able to verify this wire.  From the description it doesn't sound like a SJB connector.  Perhaps another forum member can assist with first hand info on a 2012.Soldering is fun!

I have 2 big connectors behind the knee panel under the steering column checked all the WHITE/ orange wires in there (4 of them) I will talke a pic tomorrow and post.

Thanks John

Have you checked behind the HVAC panel ?If i Can't Install it    I Don't need it   Joe

No i was hoping to pick it up in a easier place so i would not have to remove the screen and take apart the whole dash but it looks like i might have to.

Thanks John

Bump.
