[4th Gen : 01-07]: Powering backup camera.
#1
Powering backup camera.
I’ve been installing a backup camera in my 05 Grand Caravan. Having survived the ordeal of running cables to the rear of the van for camera, I’m thinking about where to pull power for the unit. Instructions call for a switched source.
I ran a wire directly to one of the backup lights, rather than the reverse switch. Wiring to the backup switch may have been easier, but I don’t know where it is and was running out of daylight for searching.
Passing wires from under the dash into the engine compartment is no easy task, the firewall is sealed quite well, but I found a plug in the firewall directly below the gas pedal that allowed me to run wires from the backup monitor ( rear view mirror) so I have access to the fuses. Which one should I choose?
