just sent you a PM.
After seeing these pics, it makes more sense. The red and black wires from the camera are the ones that go to pos/neg. I have seen RCA cables like the one you have, that has one wire wiht it. I think these are designed to let you run power down that extra wire, but still require you to use a ground. So if you wanted to, you could run the red wire on the camera to the orange wire on the RCA cable, then tie that orange RCA wire into the power source. You are correct, though, in that you would still need to find a ground for the black wire on the camera.
Run temporary wires from the batttey to the camera red/black when the camera is plugged into the lockpick and see if that works. If so, you're using the wrong wires in your tail light.

It could be the harness, it could be your RCA cable, it could be the camera, it could be the wires you picked to tap into the camera. I was just trying to eliminate one of these in my earlier suggestion.

Will the battery not be too much power and blow my radio, Since it's only supposed to get 12 volts?

Got the white plug out with a huge struggle and put it back in attached iPod and that is working so don't think it is the white harness plug, while white plug off looked at all pins and none appear to be bent
