My Dash cam Viofo A129 is hard wired and the red wire which is always hot is tapped to fuse backup lights and the yellow wire ACC is tapped to fuse power outlet No1. I did it to not drain my battery because before the red wire is tapped to brake lights and it drained my battery. So the dash cam is not always on. After fixing the wiring and when I am about to leave the car wonÂ’t start not even crank so I open the hood and inspect the battery and noticed thereÂ’s a lot of corrosion on battery. The battery is 5 years old. I called Triple A and he tried to jump start it but this time the car crank but wont start. the triple A told me he’s not sure about the issue. So I left my car at work and bought a new battery and the next day I replaced the battery and tried to start it but still same issue. Car Crank but won’t start. My co worker who knows about car told me that the fuel pump was not working when you turn the ignition to an on position. He said it should click and make a little sound if the fuel pump is working .Could it be something got damaged because of the battery went bad? Could it be the relay got messed up? I don’t have a tool to check if the relay went bad. So fast forward to that. I got it towed to the dealership at Subaru and they are still diagnosing it. Looks like they still not sure what caused it not to start. Could it be immobilizer? Anyone have the same issue? Please help. Thank you.
So, just let them figure it out -

If it was still sitting in your garage, I'd suggest you unwire the dash cam and put everything back like it was.
