Backup camera won't trigger?
 

Hello I just recently installed a back up camera and followed every step possible on a link from this forum. My issue is that for some reason my camera won't trigger when I put it on reverse. I currently have a bespoke premium headunit and have a 2013 FR-S. I have had the camera for a week with no luck. So all of of a sudden my camera decided to work for about 5 minutes. Later on it stopped working again. What am I doing wrong. Any help will be welcomed. Thx in advance.

Do I need to buy this harness??


Description:

Add a backup camera to your car or truck! This harness connects a 12-volt Backup Camera to the stock Toyota/Subaru/Scion head unit. The stock head unit is wired with a 6-volt output. This harness uses a 6-volt relay and the 12-volt accessory power provided to the stock head unit to provide a 12-volt output and composite video input for any standard automobile backup camera.
The harness connects in the place of the 16-pin connector pictured here. It will also ground the E-brake input into the head unit, allowing use of some additional funcionality while the car is in motion.
You will receive:
-1 Backup Camera Harness(Includes connections for 12-volt jumper harness, 16-pin head unit connection, Composite Video input, Relay, and 12-volt output lead)

Backup Camera Harness(Includes connections for 12-volt jumper harness, 16-pin head unit connection, Composite Video input, Relay, and 12-volt output lead)
-1 12-Volt splice harness(T-harness)
-1 Relay (6-volt input coil)
-1 Butt connector to connect 12-Volt output from harness to the backup camera
The harness is 100% plug and play. No splicing the stock wiring harness. Does not disturb stock appearance. The only exception is the Reverse Trigger Wire. Most vehicles have this wire pre-installed. If yours does not, the included pin slides into the stock connector, but the wire other end of the wire must be spliced to a reverse signal(such as the reverse light or the signal wire located in the driver's side kick panel). A splice connector will be included for completing this connection.

it would probably be your reverse trigger wire having some loose connection on one end. What brand is your backup camera?

I used a harness off some ae-86 site, the guy makes all sorts of harnesses and takes orders with his 1998-style webpage. Simple install, like post above, i too would check the tap for your reverse trigger. Tap it right, dont half-ass it either.
