Your problem there may be that your back up lights are not getting 12v to the system, if you have a multi meter you can test how much voltage it getting through the wire, also maybe the camera is not being wired correctly into the backup light or there is a shortage somewhere in the wire.
Hi Jim
You have to connect the negative to the vehicle body, and the positive to the reverse light wire.
this way the camera will comes ON when you put the selector in reverse.
Good Luck
"Life wire??" I don't know what you mean.
Usually, the backup camera will derive its power from the positive lead of your backup lights, so that it only turns on when you're backing up. You can use a standard wire tap to derive positive (+) from either backup light, and use chassis ground for the negative (-) lead of the camera.
If you can't find a good fix, or if it is too expensive, you might try the only truly wireless after-market backup camera: QuickVu(TM) Wireless Backup Camera. Buy direct from the manufacturer!
A simple, after-market solution is the truly wireless QuickVu(TM) Wireless Backup Camera. The camera has no (zero) wires. The receiver and monitor are super simple, too! Buy direct from the manufacturer!
make sure your backup lights are coming on. if the backup lights are working when in reverse then most likely you have a bad camera or loose connection. also may want to check for power to the camera ( fuses/circut).
With a backup camera I installed on my wife's Pathfinder, there was a power wire that connected to the backup light power. So when the backup lights came on in reverse, the camera got power, sent a video signal to the dash radio screen, and it would automatically switch to that input. You might have a bad wire/connection supplying power to the camera.
