Default backup light wiring identification

There are five wires: black is ground, then there is a blue, red, green and brown wire. Which one is the back-up wire? I'm installing a wireless back-up camera that needs to be connected to the ground wire and the back-up wire.

you should be able to use a 12v test light to find which wire has power when the trans is in R.

glad to be of help. I don't know a ton about the jeeps yet but I have about 15 years of wrenching on other cars under my belt.
