I just purchased a wireless backup camera to be installed on the rear license plate of my 2009 Rogue. The instruction indicates I need to power the camera via the back up light wire. Could someone assist me with some instructions as to how to gain access to the wire? Which wire (color) is it? I am pretty handy overall and I know how to splice into wires, but I know very little about cars unfortunately . I appreciate any help you can provide.
Thank you everyone! Striped green is positive and striped black is negative. Used military splice and soldered the connection then taped everything and all is well.AZhitman wrote: ↑Wed Jan 09, 2019 11:36 pm^ Great call.
If you really need it attached to the reverse wire, simply find your white backup lights... unplug one of the sockets (as if you were replacing a bulb). Should be 2 wires - a voltage meter will tell you which one is power and which one is ground. Splice into the power wire and you're done.
