Running cable for backup camera??
I do not see where the wiring harness goes into the back cab area from under the back of the bumper. What is the best entry point to run my Edge license plate backup camera cable to the front dash? I could follow the rear AC lines to the engine compartment and then over and through the firewall but would prefer to come inside at the back. Thanks for the help.

Just got it done. Just started ripping the back carpet up and there is a big plug back there very rear drivers side. A small slit and RTV to seal it back and presto. Tucked the cable under the sidewalls, door sills all the way to the front. This back up camera is amazing. Can't wait to hitch the trailer up.<o></o>

If you go inside the jack compartment looking aft, there is a hole there as well to get it inside the cabin...if you fish a wire through those two holes, it gives you another access point if you don't want to use the ports under the rear carpet.
In my case I have a large storage box in the back - I didn't want the pressure/weight of that box to damage the wires I would have run through those rubber gaskets you found, so I chose the passenger side option I described above. Took a little concentration to fish a wire through there, but it ended up being a nice, clean install and the grommet keeps it damn near waterproof.
If you aren't as worried about water and don't want to fish the wires, just forward of the piping in the jack compartment - that lower panel goes directly into the opening behind the rear wheel well.
