Default dashcam upper console hardwire question

looking to hardwire my dashcam power to the rear sliding window switch in my upper console. wires look to be 19 or 20 gauge as they measure about 1mm with insulation.





anyone have any idea which wires i might need to splice? I don't have a multimeter handy.

thanks in advance!

DS
