Double Cab rear 12v socket - help!

Click image to enlarge
A little shout for help from a newbie...

Im looking to put a 12v socket in the loadspace of my 61 plate 110 DC utility landy, Ive read heaps of posts but nothing quite the same as I see. Someone pointed me to a pair of wires behind the "speaker" panel left hand side... there are in fact 2 wires there, but no power in any condition, ignition on/off or engine running. Photo attached - they look like green/yellow and red/blue.

Can anyone help ID these, or point me in the direction of a wiring diagram. I have no blown fuses, but if these wires are for an aux not yet connected, then maybe there is no fuse fitted...?

Thanks in advance

They are speaker wires, black/yellow and black/orange.

You are looking for a thick(ish) purple wire, typically on the right hand side of the tub (opposite side to the numberplate light)

Martin is correct as above, it’s worth noting if not known already that, once found that connection is permanent live also, so be sure nothing is connected permanently without a switch or unplugged.

It probably needs a fuse inline as well to lower its current rating a little perhaps 15A. WeWillWin🇬🇧🇺🇸
