Default Shift light (Raptor) install in progress. Question!

Which wire is constant power in that loom, and which is ground (I'm assuming the straight black one)?

Ground is a black wire with a white stripe, and constant hot is orange in that same loom. No need to run anything over to the key. There are a few black with white stripe wires, you will have to test each one, one of them is only ground when your seat belt is not connected, so if your light works in the garage and then you take it out to test drive it and it doesnt work try disconecting your seat belt!!!! This took me forever to figure out. I finally found the right black wire....

NVM. Just opened the wires up and ran the power and ground to the ECU box and tied the tach signal to the tach wire in the harness.
