Troubleshooting 101
Droping off the C5 to my installer to troubleshoot the rear view camera - reverse lights situation that I have.
o I have the Kenwood DNX9140 in my C5
o I believe I have a Boyo camera
o Installed camera to activate when in I put car in reverse
Works perfectly (except zero depth perception)
But for some reason it keeps blowing the reverse lights fuse. The fuse will last for a day or so and then blows. Dropping the car off at my installer this weekend to troubleshoot.
Any items on what he/we should be searching for?

Im guessing a bad coil in the relay is pulling too much current, or its directly powered off of the reverse light circuit...which would be retarded if it was installed that way.

I agree.. I would add a relay just to protect the circuit if you are blowing fuses. Its also possible that there is an intermittant short in the boyo cable.
