Hi folks. this is my first post. My dad has a 2013 Ram 1500 V6. It is relatively base model with no backup camera. Im trying to add one that I got from amazon. But I am having trouble powering the camera itself. I tap into one backup light and the camera only sends a flickering signal. I tapped into both lights, hoping to get more current and it worked, for a little while. Then it died (of course after I left and I live two hours away). Im trying to figure out the best way to power the reverse camera itself. It is just a little dinky thing that should barely pull any current at all. I am shocked that a backup light could not power it. I even ran a separate ground to the frame to make sure it was solid connection. I dont know if wiring to the second light made the voltage sum to 24V and fried them, but I did not thing it worked like that. They should be on the same circuit, just with more current summed between the two.
Any advice is appreciated.
