Electrical wiring colors

Is there a reference for the color coding for electrical wiring on Rangers?
I added a camper shell and want to wire up the center stop light and dome light power for general illumination in the shell.

Truck is a 2009 club cab, V6 with auto trans.

I plan to intercept the wires below where the left rear jump seat used to be.
It'd be easier if I had a clue which wires to tap into.

Thanks

Go to bbbind.com, click on technical information and sign up for an account, then you will have access to the wiring diagrams for your truck.

Well I tried to find info at BBBind and it appears they have info for components (generators, starters etc), but no wiring diagrams.
Thanks anyway.

Thanks Pawpaw,
is there a definition somewhere for explaining the color coding abbreviations?
I am guessing that VT-WH means violet with a white tracer.

First word is the base insulation color, second word if there is one, is the stripe color. No second word means the insulation is a solid color/no stripe.
