This harness and bracket appears to be for a front facing camera that I don’t have. Does anyone know the wiring diagram for this, if I can tap into this to power a Home Link mirror and how to remove it since it doesn’t seem to want to release? Thanks.
Presuming you have a newer truck with the emergency braking assist system. That is your forward facing camera for that system, and I wouldn't mess with trying to get power from there. If you mess with that harness and something goes wrong, you very well could end up with a fault where it either is constantly telling you it is unavailable, OR that it constantly thinks something is there and you're about to be in an accident. And that alert is LOUD.
It’s a 22 and the only camera on the truck is for the tailgate backup one. There is no forward camera or any other sensor in that location. No lane assist or adaptive cruise control or anything else. That is why tapping power and ground should not cause any issues since the connector doesn’t attach to anything.

You can certainly try it, just keep in mind these newer trucks are very sensitive to current draw so just the fact that you're pulling power there where the truck isn't expecting it could cause issues. Might work just fine though, really hard to say.
that is the Image Processing Module A (IPMA), there are 4 tabs to release
I don’t have that module or any of those options. I only have the backplate that attaches to the glass and the wiring harness. The issue is the harness doesn’t want to release from the backplate.

You clearly showed a picture of the module, then claim you don't have it? What you think is the back plate IS the module, that has a camera and sensors for assistive braking, an option that IS ON YOUR TRUCK even if it's never activated or you turned it off in settings. IIRC it was a standard safety item in '22, and my FIL's F250 XLT had it. It is not a 'forward facing camera' as you are thinking, meaning you can't see what that camera sees.
You can certainly try tapping power there, but I wouldn't because that module, like most of them on these trucks, is kinda sensitive to current draw as mentioned above, and very well could start throwing codes.
You would be better served to just run dedicated power for your new mirror, since you've already got the headliner down there isn't any real extra work,and it will for sure keep you from having an issue down the road.
My 22 had the Advanced Security Delete and actually had an empty module in its place. Looked like the real module with the part/engineering number and all but an empty box.
Maybe OP has the same with that sensor box.

If you look closely you’ll see the clips for the module are nonexistent. It’s amazing you’re so sure of something I have without being here to see it firsthand. Look at the post below yours and it appears someone else claims the same thing I do. Curious.
