C5 Corvette Backup Camera No Video
I need help trying to figure where I am going wrong. First my new head unit is the Alpine Ilx-w650. The wiring harness is the Axxess for 97-2004 corvette which retains the BOSE woofer. So everything as for the head unit is connected correctly. I have wired the back up camera from the hu down the side of the passenger seat to the back of the car. On each end of the wire is the two rca connections and the red wire attached to each end. At the head unit, I connected the RCA to Rear Camera on the back of the Head Unit. The red wire was connected to the orange/white reverse camera wire. At the camera I have connected the yellow RCA and the red male RCA connector from the camera with the red and black wire. The red positive wire from the camera and the red wire from the trigger wire or the wire with one RCA connector at both ends was connected to the green wire at the reverse backup light. The black wire is for ground. If anyone has a suggestion on where to ground the black wire would be helpful. When I start the car and put it into reverse the camera switches to reverse and shows the cones, but no video is coming from the camera. It seems the camera itself is not getting power. Help!!!
