Assuming you are trying to find the "wire" (I assume coax cable) that goes to the bedroom, start in the bedroom. Remove that wall plate and ensure that there is a coax cable connected to it. Now, take a tiny bit of alum. foil and stuff it into the end of the coax causing a short between the center wire and the outside screw-on collar. Using a multi-meter check continuity on all the cables up front and when you find the one that shows it is shorted you will have found the cable that goes to the bedroom. You can also buy commercial tracers but this is so easy there's really no need for anything else.
