Thanks. I take our Pod in for service tomorrow so when I have it high enough I will crawl under and get a better look. I used a selfie stick and took pictures but could not separate any of the wires. It is problay there covered by all the other wires.

rawest, you are right the wiring comes in on the drivers side.
Now since I'm such a nice guy I crawled under the pod in the snow to take a pic just for you.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Drivers side at the front corner? That is where all my wires go from the frame to the trailer underside.

I just completed wiring backup lights on my 2010 171.  I found the yellow wire under the left front corner and made the connection.  Works great.  Thank you Marwayne.

I am back. I used my iPhone to check for a yellow wire. I cannot get under the Pod because driveway slopes & front of Pod very low to make it level. I have a bunch of white wired and a couple not connected to anything. No yellow. I will try to post a picture.

Thanks. I will check it out. May be back because my Electrical skills are plugging prongs in a socket.

If you look under the pod on drivers side, where all the wiring is located there is a yellow wire that is blanked off that is for the backup light.

I have a light bar I want to put on the rear of the Pod. I have plenty of wiring to run the length from the TV to the rear of the Pod. I need the reverse lighting on the TV. Wiring diagram shows the center pin of the 7 pin as the reverse wiring. Can I splice into it and make it work? The light works off a 4 pin but my past experience is that does not handle the reverse lighting. My Jeep I wired into the taillight.
