Default Re: HELP! Reverse Lights Wired to Radio Harness?

Its always great to have a diagram with the actual color coded wires that were (supposed) to be used. I have found on occasion that either they mis-labeled a diagram(s) OR they ran out of a particular wire during the harness assembly and threw in whatever fit. This I found over many many years of pouring over factory manuals troubleshooting electrical glitches here and there for myself and others. Oh the joy when it actually matches, and the sadness when it doesn't (because then I'm either in the wrong harness OR someone screwed up (in the former, of course, I screwed up). If you cannot find the correct wire, recheck the harness your in [and] the pinout (sometimes they reverse, its easy to have happen). If your in the right connector/harness and you cannot find the 'correct' colored wire, be prepared to spend a period of time to trace everything out until you find the error. I would definitely suggest having non-colored lenses with a bright white light source to enhance the colors (shadows, yellow light sources, and colored lenses can make colors look different). Those automatic light adjusting glasses can really muck things up also. Just saying!
