Im installing a touchscreen stereo with a backup camera and cannot locate the wire in the dash which runs back to the reverse lights. I’ve taken the harness apart, and I cannot find the same wire that is in the tail light housing anywhere in the cluster under the driver or passenger side kickpanel. I’m assuming it connects to something midline and change his color or I have a wiring problem with this jeep. Can anybody help me with this?

Just to update, I found 2 wires under the dash on the driver side in the cluster below the steering column. Both are BRN/LT GRN and only one has power when the transmission is in reverse. The last time I went hunting for this I thought I had the correct wire based on the color, but didn’t get voltage. Both lights and the backup camera are now working.
