That was my plan. I was hoping there was a hot wire back there already to save some time and money. I am real familiar with the underside of the truck. Spend lots of time under it troubleshooting the air brake issue.
I was hoping there was power in the back when the master switch was on and the lights off? Like the inter vehicular connector? If I ran the power from the cab I would use wire loom or hard plastic pipe.
Did you run the wires outside the frame or inside?
Where did you pull power from? I was thinking of running a hot wire from the cab to the camera so I can power it all of the time.
Was the 20ft cable long enough or did you need to lengthen it?
I also bought a cheap camera just to see how I like it. It says 12 or 24V and the picture is much better than I expected for the price.
I was hoping one of the trailer connectors was hot when the master power was on. Its looking like that is not the case though.
How did you get the video wire in the cab? Did you drill a new hole or use an existing one?
I notice you used wire loom. How did you secure it. On my truck there is nothing on the rear of the frame to secure it too. I thought about a few dabs of silicone?
Do I need to add a breaker or should I use inline fuses?
I can extend the cable if I need to since I already have the unit.
I want to wire it so I can turn it on whenever I want not just reverse. I am thinking of using a single pole double throw toggle so I don't need a diode.
In one...
Looking for camera mounting/power ideas.
I picked up a cheap backups camera on ebay for $50. It has the license plate style camera mount and a 7" display.
Has anyone hooked one up on an LMTV? I'm curious where you are pulling power from? The J95 plug? I want mine to have power whenever the...
That cont. port looks like the interconnect port. I think that is what restricts the trailer supply valve from working if the park brake is not released. I would assume that is internal to the single valve and not required.
That was exactly what I was thinking when I figured out they were crossed. I found a few other things they replaced probably trying to fix the issue. Then they ultimately gave up and sent it to DRMO.
Their loss is my gain I guess :grin:
It turned out to be the Park control valve being hooked up wrong. My first clue should have been that the park control and trailer supply valves were in the opposite locations of what the TM's show (Park control on top of the trailer supply).
I spent every night this week looking at the TM's...
