- Car Back-Up Camera - Finding Positive and Negative Back-up LIGHT wire polarities. That is how to find out where Back-Up Light socket is located and then determine which of the two metal contacts inside the socket is the positive (+) side and which is the negative (-) side. Then I show you how to tap into those wires going to the socket to hook up your back up camera leads. Note I purchased this Car/Truck back up camera at NAPA Auto and it only came with a dashboard Video monitor and the camera. Thus the transponder must be built inside the camera and sends a wireless video signal to the monitor on the dashboard. Make sure you are not on a hill or a sloped surface when you put the car in reverse with the car not running and no one being in the drivers seat. Thanks, please subscribe and like.
Gee, I'm sure glad you were able to see those wires cuz I couldn't see crap because the person holding the camera had it pointing at the interior carpet while you worked BEHIND the interior carpet.
Nice to know the "Wizard of Oz" is still alive and well.
Say "Hi" to Dorothy and Toto for me.
Well! that was as clear as mud , you just could not see which wire he was probing. I think I'll check out another channel to get some expert tuition.
So much for the KISS principal.
At least it provides idea and clarity to level 3 -7 on a [1 (Beginner ) - 10 (Expert)] scale. Thank you
T Gupta ...I agree, and I’m the one who did the video...
.............See my other related video to this. How to route the camera wire on a 2006 Toyota Camry at the following link : czcams.com/video/2oxPBQTNxTI/video.html
?
Thanks for the video!
Actually, this IS a great video since I'm going to be installing a backup camera and will be using the power to the backup lights to tap into for my camera. Yes, I do need to know which wire is positive. There are 3 wires going into that socket, right? Do I care what the third wire is?
All you care about is finding a wire that goes to +12 VDC when you are in reverse, so no. Doesn't even technically have to be coming from the reverse lights.
Great video, very helpfull.
Clean Install, you should try using our products on your vehicle Thank you for the content
Helpful video but not auxiliary run position use emergency brake block Wheels
*Hey guys, as of 2/15/20, I have 242 likes, and 213 dislikes. Thus I am not going to be impeached by “Shifty Shift” and Nancy Lapolooza.... 😎 Thank God for the Constitution 🇺🇸-Vote Trump- USA, USA 🇺🇸* -Just like Trump said “I can do whatever I want!”
Hi, hope you and you're family are well. I have a question about finding the positive on the reverse light cables. Does the 12v tester with crocodile clamp only pick up a voltage from the positive or also on the negative too? Thanks
Wires are different for all cars
thank you works for me
You were on a roll near the beginning but kind of lost touch near the end, we wanted to see a video of the wire being added into the reverse socket for the back up camera.
I am hooking up the power wire to the positive but grounding to the body frame, via, one of the many bolts in the trunk frame.
Chris S ... that should work as long as you have a good ground to the chassis
you need an assistant to properly show what you want to show us. thanks for the effort, but you could make it better, I need to jump to another video to understand better.
I found one of those old 12v testers in a tool bag my wife obtained from her dad but it doesn't have a cable to connect to it. Where I can I get that from?
or else you can get a standard multimeter for a tenner would do the job for you
I stopped when i heard you say I'm colourblind.
Joe Leahy ....I heard they have colorblind corrective eyeglasses now. Too late in life for me now. I’m almost retired.
Hello, I do have FPV camera and monitor but is there why that my rear light will be able to run this camera, or will it "burn" it.
btw. I run this "system" with battery but now I want to get rid of them. What do you think?

Thank you very much.
Aleksandar Vujicic ....Sorry, not sure what you mean.
I wanted to see which color wire to hook up my backup camera to the brake light; and guess what? The guy tells us [who is showing the video]That he is colorblind and he can't tell the difference between the colors red or black.Go figger! He!He!
…Partially color blind , to be exact. Blue and purple confuse me, and Green and brown confuse me. I have an electrical engineering degree, but never got a job at that.x. So many jobs require color vision. They make color corrective eyeglasses now, but not worth pursuing that at my age. The military said I would be severely limited in job titles because I was too color-blind. I Love your comment. Red and black are not the colors I have trouble with. Thank you. I still have never used the back-up camera all these years later. The delay in the camera turning on was too slow.
aim that camera better , bro!\
M Baltimore ....Yah, ideally I should have had someone else hold the camera.. You can watch my comedy video on CZcams though... czcams.com/video/WIjE78V1sSg/video.html
how do i actually wire them together?
...... My wife got very sick and I never did finish hooking up this camera. I did get to use the camera briefly and I found out it's reaction time was so slow (delayed) when putting the car in reverse that I decided not even to use the back-up light to turn on the camera, but just plan to manually install an on/off toggle switch for the camera up by the front drivers seat. I can manually turn on the camera as needed. This method also helps because a lot of time the camera would be a distraction in easy to back up situations.
My wife got sick and I never did finish up hooking up the camera using the back up lights. The little time I did test the camera I found that the camera was too slow in reacting to showing the picture when using the back-up lights to turn on the camera. In other words by time the camera showed the back-up camera view I was all ready well into backing up. I am going to hook up an on/off toggle switch up by the front seat to manually turn on the camera only when I need it bad. That way the camera can be on well ahead of time and not be so slow in reacting. Thanks for inquiring.
You need a camera person and a bit of editing. Good try.
Agree. My next CZcams channel will be better 😊
Can't see what you're doing please re do the video
Doris Cartee ...Sorry, Maybe one day I will. I quit making CZcams videos in protest of CZcams banning Alex Jones from the platform.
its a little scary for me to even try to do this. can i get this done by professional mechanics
..... I can see why it may be scary. I have an electrical engineering degree and I still don't understand a lot of electric circuits. I wouldn't try it if your not confident. Of course professionals can do it.
I couldn't see the most important part 👎
Not very helpful for someone who is illiterate when it comes to electricity.
this was painful
robert maxwell *......You mean I’m not going to win an academy award! .... Darn it Robert.. All my hopes are dashed........🙃. (By the way, Did you see my flat screen spline installation video yet?)...There is still hope... Every actor has atleast one bad film on his credit.... I blame the script writers on this one. The men in black suits also wouldn’t give me a beauty model to hold my tools like I asked either...*
*....Sorry Robert, 12 Volt DC isn’t supposed to shock you...* (Just kidding, you ought to see my comedy skit on CZcams czcams.com/video/WIjE78V1sSg/video.html). It is even a more dreadful video than this. My group is call the “Grateful Dreadful”).* 😉
he sounds like carl on sling blade!!! mmm yer ought not talk like that!!
Learn first before you attempt to teach.
TERRIBLE INSTRUCTION!! CLEAR AS MUD!!
Bloody hell. Why not get yourself organised and make sure of the dialog first . Could not see what you were doing
You said so many useless words that made this video too long. Waste of time.
Joi Lozada ......Yup, I should have hired a script writer, and had an editor review it... Possibly then, I could have won a Pulitzer Prize. (Just kidding). I actually have an Electrical Engineering degree. Before I went to college, electricity was baffling to me for the most part.
