Where does the license plate light get power from? The light switch? Does it go through the column half moon?

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this will answer your question.. The various circuits are marked (coded) in two ways.. Some of the circuits are worded as to what they serve.. Others are color coded.. An example of this would be 16LB.. This would decode as 16 gauge wire, light blue insulation..

For instance -- you want to find where the right rear. brake light is located in the "horseshoe connector".. Locate the circuit device -- right rear brake/turn signal light.. Trace it's wire back to the "horseshoe" connector.. In this example, it would be an 18 gauge dark green wire.

In explaining your question. Download and print both "halves" of the wiring diagram.. Trim and carefully splice them together with scotch tape, making one large sheet. Locate the wire for the license plate light on the wiring diagram. It's a 16 gauge brown wire. It's a brown wire on the diagram, never mind the actual color of the wire on your truck. It could have been changed at some point in the past. Follow it to where it splices into the tail light brown wire. This is where the light gets its power. The splice should be near the tail light itself. In any event, the license plate wire doesn't go the full length of the truck all the way back to the "horseshoe plug". It's not part of that circuitry.
