Where does the little red wire go

I have a Banks OttoMind engine calibration Module. There is a 4 wire cable that runs from the module to the instrument panel. the 4 wires are Black, (common ground) Green (gauge) and White (gauge) and then there is a red wire, that has a small blade connector. The red wire is disconnected and there is no obvious place for it.

This system worked until about 4 months ago.

Yes I know it is an old system, but it worked?

We installed a new back up camera, and this wire must have been disconnected behind the instrument panel some how.

I checked for + power, not powered

It's over, we must upgrade.
Any opinions ?
on boost gauges? EGT gauges?

I am surprised that Banks doesn't have obsolete manuals on website.
Good luck!

that engine calibration module , is way of date.
banks is sending a owners manual for it.
But looks like I'm in for a updated module but not for banks.

This is not a "Stinger pack' and this system is on a cummins 8.3 ISC

Thanks for helping.

As mentioned red is usually for power. Perhaps it is used to power the back lighting at night.

Red is normally power. I would suspect it goes to a keyed hot in your fuse panel.

I could be wrong, but I'd also guess a call to Banks would also answer your question.
There are 24 hours in every day - it all depends on how you choose to use them.
