We posted this before but the Search feature isn''t helping me![:@]

For the second time in the past 6 months I have backed up into a car. The rear visability in the H3 is horrible!

I picked up a back-up camera at Walmarts for $98.  The directions are very vague.  I recall someone tapped the trailer hitch harness for a back-up lead for the trailer lights.  Any one remember what the wire color is?

Is there a full time hot wire in the rear so I can have the camera full time?

You will not want the power on for the camera full time, it tends to shorten the life of the unit.

I tapped into the license plate light for my power. This gave me the ability of being able to manually turn it on by using the headlights.

According to this thread???  Which wire is for back-up lights   

Page 4-69 of the Owner''s Manual has some info:

The trailer towing harness contains the following seven trailer circuits:
• Yellow: Left Stop/Turn Signal
• Dark Green: Right Stop/Turn Signal
• Brown: Taillamps
• White: Ground
• Light Green: Back-up Lamps
• Red: Battery Feed
• Dark Blue: Trailer Brake
 
I would check it through the trailer plug with a cucuit tester.  Light Green and your camera comes on in reverse, Red...all the time???
