I think that these wires go to : 1) rear defroster, 2) rear
wiper, 3) rear washer fluid pump motor.  I think! that
neither is a good source of steady 12 volts.   I'd go
forward, consider taking the 12 volts from the light above
the driver's door (or the westy interior light) if you can
snake the wire over to where you want it.  I put a light
above the passenger's door and took 12 volts from the
driver's side light.  m2cw,  malcolm
