Ford Excursion :: Location Of Reverse Wire For Backup Camera Installation?


May 17, 2013

My reverse camera goes over the mirror, its a mirror when not in use and a camera when in reverse. The way this one is set up, the camera taps switched 12 volts at the rear of the car (tapped trailer connector for these) and the video signal runs forward (ran under headliner to center console to mirror). The monitor needs 12 volts, ground, and + 12 volts when I shift into reverse. I just read a half dozen threads where people suggested tapping into a black wire with pink stripe in the driver's kick panel. Just checked, no such wire on mine. I do not want to run a wire back from the taillight, this seems backwards since the power goes from the front of the truck to the reverse light in the taillight I just need to find the right wire. I checked the reverse relay and the fuse in the fusebox and they are both 12 volts when the truck is on, so they must be prior to the reverse switch.

Camry :: Backup Camera Installation On 2005 LE

I just bought a 2 din DVD HU and will install a backup camera with it for my 2005 Camry LE.

A few questions:

1) what's the best way to run video cable from HU to trunk? Through side panel then under door molding or through center storage console then under the carpet?

2) what method do you recommend to tap into backup light for +12V to power the camera? Is there a breakout wire harness that I can buy, or splice the wire (then solder them together) or use a wire tap connector (never used these before, are they reliable and do they hold together a couple years)?

Ford Excursion :: Backup Camera Monitor Wiring Diagram?

Currently I have a license plate camera wired always on connected to a 7inch lilliput monitor infront of my center console on that hump in the floor. The monitor is connected to a 12v plug on the dash. In this configuration, I have to reach down and turn the monitor on whenever I want to reverse and im hoping I can make it turn on whenever I go into reverse. Right now, if I turn it on then turn the truck off, the monitor stays on with a bright blue no signal screen which forces me to turn the monitor on, then off, every time I reverse if I want to use it.

Any way to make the monitor turn on/off when I put my Ex in reverse?

Camry 2012+ :: Backup Camera Don't Work When Car Is In Reverse

I have a 2012 camry hybrid that had the stock push button radio and I wanted to add a backup camera. So I picked up a 2013 camry entune display head unit to replace the stock one without a display.

The backup camera does not work when the car is in reverse and I see that the mpg and other data does not update on the radio display, although all of the same data is displayed on the instrument cluster.

Prius (2004-09) :: Reverse Camera And Backup Lights Also Turns On With Headlights

I have a weird problem with my 2006 with HID headlights and 78k miles. When I turn on the headlights, the reverse camera turns on & so do the back-up white lights. I can clear the reverse camera by pushing any button, but the back-up lights are a big problem. No codes are being seen via ODB, everything else works great, and no fuses appear to be blown.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Reverse View Camera Location

Where is the camera for the back-up screen located? Occasionally we have gotten splashed and when I put the car in reverse, it is very difficult to see because the splashes are obscuring the view. If I knew the location of the camera, I could try to clean it.

By the way, had my first opportunity to drive our 450h In the snow. The snow was coming down hard, it was night time, back roads in New England, taking our daughter back to boarding school. The roads were very dark, not yet plowed. I was so focused on seeing the road ahead that I didn't even notice how steady the car had been (no skidding or 'fish-tailing') until we got back to our hotel.

Camry :: Reverse Light Wire Location Under Dash?

[2008 SE I4 no JBL no factory nav]

Picked up a new head unit from ottonavi and am trying to finalize the install, but I can't figure out how to connect the unit to the reverse light wire so the backup camera comes on automatically when you shift to reverse. I've searched the forum and seems like the answers were PM'ed and emailed in most cases... Someone mentioned behind the glovebox?

What I've tried so far:

There are two white connectors at the base of the shifter, and while in reverse, I unplugged each (individually and together), and the reverse lights were still on! I tried the connectors I could get to behind the glovebox (on the side and middle top) with the same result.

Ford Excursion :: Backup Alarm On All The Time In Reverse

The backup alarm sounds when I put the truck in reverse when there is nothing behind me. I found posts about people not getting any sound at all but none like mine. I'm guessing I have at least bad sensor that 'thinks' there's something in the way when there isn't.

Ford 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel :: Backup Camera Won't Working?

Went to back out of the driveway yesterday and no picture on my nav screen. It switched to the camera screen but it is just black. I unplugged the connection at the rear of the truck before the tailgate and plugged it back in. Everything seemed fine with the connection. I also have a lock pick installed but if I remember correctly the camera still plugs directly into the nav unit.
