Powering a Camper Shell Dome Light if No Wires Can be Found for Power Under the Truck
Question:
I know there are several posts but after hours on my back I feel like an idiot. I can find two blue wires but cannot locate grounding screw or identify which line to use to power shells dome light. Help. Please

There are a couple of things you can do. First, tell me the year, make, and model of the truck and I can try to find a wire that you can use and where it is located.
Or you could power the camper shell dome light directly from the vehicle battery via a switch such as # PK34513.
And yet a third option; if your truck has the cargo lights around the third brake light then you could tap into that wiring.
