Where is the reverse sensor wire?

Trying to hook up a back up camera so I need to know where the reverse sensor wire is. +rep for correct response!

x2. That's how most back-up cameras work. A ground, power, and reverse wire .

Darn, I was hoping there was something up front for it. If I have to pull a wire all the way back there, they could have at least made it a black wire, not a pink one! Ok then, guess I'm using the reverse lights. Thanks

Nah you don't have to do that, you can catch it here at the brown wire (4dr) or purple wire (2dr) driver's kick panel or fuse box, top 42 pin plug.

I expect you to send me the wire you saved.

I'm going to just install the camera next week when I get back to Vegas. I COULD send you the wire if you really wanted it and I didn't use it :P
Wires cost like..nothing though

Any chance you have a picture of this connector? I saw one plugged into the top of the fuse box but didnt have a chance to count if it had 42 wires going into it. Also is the purple wire the only purple wire in this fuse box? I would hate to tap into the wrong thing. Last but not least, what is the kick panel? i searched the forums and saw it mentioned several times but never got a pic of it or exact location. TIA :)

the kick panel is the thing that you accidentally "kick" when your foot is resting on the foot rest. (your left foot)

http://www.collegehillshonda.com/ins...oglightkit.pdf

start on page 7/15 from the above link.

you are welcome!

These are to help you with the Kick panel. Not the location of the reverse sensor wire.
