This weekend I am going to wire in a back up camera and front camera for Off-Roading. I would like to run the power wire so when only the ignition is on it will power the device. What wire do you guys tap into. There are alot of wires under the dash, and I know how to find wires that only have power when the ignition is on, but I don't want to over draw any important wires that could blow a fuse or void the warranty.

 

Please, Please, Please, I still need help

 

Take it to a shop, they'll save you the headache

 

I would like to do this myself

 

Hey Man, if you still need the help, I know it is the green or white wire under the dash that give you 12v power when the ignition is turned on. You have to test the wires with a meter. Hope this helps you.

By the way, I am all for duing it yourslef! I put in to two tvs' and an xbox. But I put a fuse after I tapped into the wire and before my xbox and tvs, just to be safe. NO it does not void anything.

 

I do know that the light green wire on the hitch is the reverse lights and the reverse cam can be hooked up to the light green +12v wire and the ground wire is the large white one. It is too big so I connected the ground to the chassis.
Under the dash, I haven't got there yet....
Here is the backup lights diagram.

a search would help you out here...wish this site had one of those cool features


here is the wire you are looking for: use the acc. wire...that is switched with the ignition

 

Just take a test light to the fuse box and use spade connectors.

I've never liked tapping stock wires.

 

Where are you from Garrett? Just curious as we seem to have the same last name.
