Has anyone had any luck locating the rear pre-wired aux wire (labeled E) without tearing apart the entire rear passenger side cargo area? I haven't seen a good explanation on how to find the wire anywhere. I want to use it for rear facing pod lights but if it's to much of a hassle I'll just run a new wire underneath to the engine compartment.

Yes, its there in the wire loom behind the plastic trim panel. You can get the panel off without taking the seats out, but there are a lot of pop connectors, and you do have to take the rear floor panels off. The wire has a capped off end like all the others, but isn't actually wired directly to the AUX switches. You have to connect a pair of wires under the passenger side foot well area to power it. For whatever reason, you can either have that powered or the wire that goes up the A pillar to the roof.

On my 4 door, the wire was closer to the seat belt than the tailgate. You don’t have to pull the floor out to access it - if you pop the passenger side panel inward you can access it easily enough to make a connection to your rear pod lights. Good luck.

Yah most everyone knows the aux wire runs and how to use them.

The better question is how is the rear side panel removed correctly without busting the clips or panel catches.

Real easy to just say remove rear panel.

It’s a fine line between pleasure & pain!

Seems like it's going to be easier to run the new wire directly from the rear bumper to the engine compartment from underneath. Ford has a pop out panel in the rear cargo area next to the 12v power outlet and cargo light. Should of been real easy to make sure the aux jumper was long enough to reach that area.

While I'm complaining this new Bronco Nation mobile layout sucks too 🤣.
