Rear Camera suddenly stopped working...

[Mikeez]

Hey guys, I have been playing with the wires for hours. I finally gave up, maybe I am not seeing or doing something right....

Initially, installing the Rear Camera, I had the wire connected directly to the reverse pin loose. What do I mean by loose? I just shoved the wire in the hole.

For legit 2 years, it held... so finally it stopped working. My first thought was the wire finally decided to fall after all this vibration.

However, playing with the wire for hours, the camera worked once and then boom not working...

Another 3 years (I am exaggerating but after a long time)... it wasn't working...

So I cut the pink wire and interwind the wires together.

The problem is:

Lets say the wire is a 20 gauge wire, I have a 16 gauge wire... both copper I assume. but it was working with that setup before... is it possible that I did not interwind them correctly?

What am I missing (Other than pictures) I will post soon..
