Installation of Reverse Light Connector for 7-Way on 2001 Toyota Tundra
Question:
I have the 7-way connector all wired up, but the last thing to connect is the yellow wire on the 7-way connector to the reverse light wire on the truck. Would you happen to know where I need to connect that yellow wire to? Would I need to splice into one of the 2 wires on the tail light reverse light bulb wiring? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
You have pinpointed it. You want to connect the yellow wire on the 7-way to the reverse light power wire behind your tail light. The best way to ensure you get the correct wire is to have a friend shift into reverse and use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to determine the power wire to connect to. You can use a butt connector or a quick splice like # SWC502905-1.
