Default Reverse Light Problem

I'm not sure how long this will be but bear with me, I need help. I recently installed a Kenwood DNX691KD in my car. It also has a Pyle reverse camera which was working great. I started to have the camera work intermittently. Then it totally stopped working. I figured I'd get around to checking it out at another time, since I initially had problems with the RCA cable causing the camera not to work. So I'm walking away from my car and I press my remote to lock the car and only the left reverse light flashed. The right one is where I have the camera wire tied in. I figured that my connection broke and I'd fix it later. The wire joint had come apart rendering the right side light inoperable. I reattached the connections and now I have no reverse lights at all, and no camera either. There are no fuses in the reverse light circuit, only a relay in the engine compartment fuse box. When I checked the DIC for codes I get a code for the relay, B2482 H C. I have tried two other working relays and nothing happens. I put my relay in my friend's car and his lights work. I am now baffled. What else could I have screwed up? I tried locating the ground but no luck. I am going to try grounding the lights to a new location. BTW, all other rear lights work as they should. The approach light function of all other lights also works, minus the reverse lights

Relays are for control and not circuit protection. Fuse 21 in the I/P fuse box is for that circuit. Also Fuse 2 in the engine fuse box is for the relay coil and it could be bad.

If you are blowing that fuse due to the camera load don't put in a larger fuse. You will need a seperate feed.

I have not blown any fuses and the relay is good, I checked that already. This is why I can't figure out my problem.
