Back-up sensor power supply?

Installing back-up sensors on my 2003 Ford F250. Everything is done except attaching wire to 12V power source. Was thinking of using back up light for power source but not sure which wire it is. Have not removed taillight assembly yet so it might be obvious once I do this. Just wondering if anyone knew the exact wire?

Thanks,

madjak,

I have 2002 schematics. If it is the same as your 2003, then it shows a BK/PK wire to turn on the backup lamps.

I am thinking that would be a black wire with a pink stripe.

Good luck, Tom

Thank you Tom...I pulled the reverse bulb from the taillight and it is just as you said...black with a thin pink stripe. Tied into this one and my back up sensors came to life.
