I am adding a reverse camera to my JSW to connect to my aftermarket ANS-810 head unit. I tapped into the reverse light power wire to trigger the camera each time reverse is engaged. I actually used this line to trigger a relay, the actual power feed to the camera is a 12V line that supplies the rear 12V accessory power connector.
After tapping the lines I have run into a problem. I have no power on the right reverse light wire. The bulb is fine, it is the wire without any power when I place the vehicle in reverse. Needless to say, I have no reverse camera video either.
I have checked the fuses and think I have found the one that handles this circuit and it looks fine. If someone could confirm the fuse that handles this just to be certain I would appreciate it.
I even stuck a pin in the wire upstream of where I spliced into the wire (I soldered my splices) and tried to see if I had 12V power in the wire prior to where I had done work on it. With the vehicle in reverse...zero volts.
Any ideas on how to trouble shoot? The wire I tapped was the blue/black wire on the rear light connector.
