I have no power to tail lights, rear fin, license plate, hazard, and signal lights, BUT i have lights in dash (no code in dash), push to start button, headlights (high and low), and fog lights in ACC mode and even when the engine is running.
In my old setup, I have an old camera mounted to the back of the license plate bracket and I used a wire connector to tap into the positive wire from the cable that powers up the rear license plate light to power it up, and it works fine.
I took out the old camera, mounted the new camera, and I used the same wire connector to power it up. It powers up the camera fine at first install, but I thought of connecting the camera to a reverse light instead, so it shows the guidance line when I go on reverse.
I have the SS running, while doing all this. I took out the wire connector from the license plate light cable. I couldn’t locate the reverse light, so I gave up on connecting the camera there, so decided to move the wire connector to the same cable I have used before and hooked up the red cable from the camera.
As soon as I secured the wire connector, I noticed my tail lights went out, but I noticed it’s very dim inside. So, I took out the cables and the wire connectors out again, turn off the engine, gave it a few minutes and turn it to ACC and see if tail lights came up, but no luck even with the engine running.
Is there a fuse that I might have blown in the process while hooking up the red cable from the camera while the SS is running? I couldn’t see anything from the manual. I’m thinking of disconnecting the battery tomorrow and leaving it disconnected for a few minutes before trying again.
Just want to check if anyone experience something similar before I take it to the dealer.
