Default Re: Back Up Camera with GPS

Purchased a back up camera this week at Canadian tire, looks like the walmart job--150 bucks in Canada. Made a bracket to install monitor in front of overhead console and tapped into the mirror temperature wires. That part went well. Okay for back camera I used trailer wiring ground ,centre terminal in plug and 12volt off driving lights. Worked well when I temporarily used cig, outlet jack but wouldn't work using trailer plug terminal. Checked with voltmeter and found only 11.5 volts between running lights and trailer gnd. Went to a solid frame ground, one of screws holding trlr wiring connector and monitor and camera worked fine. Made bracket to hold camera below hitch. Very happy with picture and results. Regards The Rebel P. S. suspect because I have one of those gizmos that supposedly leaks a small current to prevent corrosion, it was affecting trlr wire ground
