So I am looking at doing a small mod to my reverse camera:
Here is a "wiring diagram" of what I currently have. I'm a chippy not a sparky it's the best I could draw
Now what I want to do:
Basically all I want to be able to do is turn the camera on whenever I want by flicking a switch. What I think I need to do is somehow run a positive wire to the camera with a relay or something like that in there. What currently happens (like most reverse cameras) is that when you put it in reverse the lights come on which then powers the camera and then turns the screen on. I have the reverse led's I added also connected to the same point.
From my understanding is I need a relay after the reverse lights I added, so as that when I flick a switch wired positively it doesn't turn the reverse lights on also???
Anyone got some insight to this and am I making a small easy job technical?
Thanks!!
