Please help me locate a wire

I have a 2022 F-350 Diesel. I am looking for a particular wire coming out of the BCM. I am installing a GJ Motorsports 3rd brake light. According to someone there, they said it is the same as the 2015-2018 F-150 reverse wire (C2280C, Pin #11, GN-BN wire).I am hoping someone could actually show me a diagram page for a brand new super duty.
Thanks in advance.
PayPal $20 to whomever gives me an answer that checks out with a multimeter.

Interestingly, the standard wiring for the CHMSL, comes from C2280E pin 13 (Brown)

@TB250 your first post makes more sense to me. But if I knew what I was talking about I would not be on here asking around.

I'm leaning towards the first post (C2280C, Pin 11) as well since you're looking for the reverse/backup signal (not stop). Mine 2017-19 manual has the same.

I'm not familiar with the GJ Motorsports 3rd brake light, But there should be a loose designate and label 3rd bake light wire just in front of the spear tire under truck.
I used it on 2020 super duty for truck cap 3rd brake light. Not sure if that's what your looking for.

@TB250 I wont be tapping into the BCM. But I verified with the manufacture and he agrees with your assumption so I owe $20. Let me know how to send you that on PayPal. But tagging onto what @jim7044 said, the distributor said I can vampire tap into the reverse wire that is under the dash connected to my trailer brake controller. I looked at my 7 pin on the back of the truck and I know what color that wire is for reverse but I would like to verify through ford literature of what they used for colors in the dash. Another $20 is up for grabs.

The TBC only has an input for the Brake Pedal Position, it doesn't have a Reverse input.


There is a 'Customer Access' wire over by the BCM @ C213 for the brake pedal position. (I realize that you're looking for reverse.)

I will add about the Reverse light signal at the rear trailer/camper adapter. The signal leaves the BCM, goes to the engine compartment BJB and then goes to the rear adapter.

@h20camper well **** thanks for the info. The distributor might of been misinformed about the TBC. They did say there is a wire under the driver side dash that you can tap into for the reverse light. I am trying to avoid tapping into the BCM wiring. I just dont feel great about tapping into the BCM wiring. Not that tapping into any factory wiring is great.

I assume you don't want to run a wire to the rear of the truck? There you'd have all you need, no?

@h20camper yeah I am trying to keep the wire in the cab. I have it run to the passenger side kick panel because I had to hook my weboost and other lights to the upfitter pass through wires.

Then you could pick in up from the engine compartment (passenger side) at the BJB's C1035B Pin 2.
