    Terminal #1 of the neutral/park switch connector, a blue and red wire, activates the backup light relay.

    There will also be a wire in your trailer harness energized on reverse if you are running lights. It's the center pin of the 7-way.

    Man, I don't recall. I've had the entire repair manual for '07-'13 for a long time. I think I got it from someone on this forum that posted the pdf manual some time back.
