back up light grounded

I am getting a tbc fault error, so i am tracking it down. In the process i have uncovered that my reverse lights have a ground short somewhere. Anyone have ideas of where to look or wiring diagrams to help track it down.

05 F350 v10 gas

ETA: I am assuming there was a nicer aftermarket head unit in there before I got it. I cut out a couple antenna wires, so assuming one was nav which I regret now. Anyways, I am assuming there might have been a backup camera. Probably a splice to a reverse wire that was just pulled and could be touching bare metal. Where would be the obvious spots.

EDIT2: The wires from the back lights/trailer plugs to the engine bay are good. The short is from the connector in the engine bay to the fuse box/interior of the truck
