I got a parking sensor that is also a digital speedometer. I need to tap in to the speed sensor wire for the speedometer to work. I need to know the location of the wire. I tried behind the cluster but I do not know what color wire it is. I hope you can help.

We do not have the Liberty model here in US. However, a Forester is a black wire and white wire and runs to c9 and c10 on cluster connector. See picture.
