side view cameras

I am attempting to install side cameras that activate with the rt and lt turn signals on a 2000 National Seabreeze with a p32 chassis. Any idea which wires coming off of the steering column are the rt and lt turn signal? or is there another place I should be looking to make this work?

  • Can't help with the wiring, but on my in dash display unit it has a delay that keeps the cameras on while the blinkers are flashing.
    Maybe yours does too.
    do you have a manual on the display unit?
  • there are 2 wires coming out of the column. left and right. the flasher is wired on the power wire going into the column, and works with both/either.

    I'm not real sure how the side camera inputs work tho. perhaps they have a delay?
  • Thanks for the input. That confirms one assumption. I do realize that hooking up past the thermal flasher will cause the screen to turn on and off in sync with the flasher; what I don't understand is, when the signal arm is pushed up or down (rt or lt) how does the circuit know which side to activate, if, as you say, there is only one wire coming from the column?
    My next assumption is that there are two wires coming from the turn signal arm at the steering column to the thermal flasher. I just cant figure which two...
  • oops.. try another idea

    the wire there is only (1) flasher for the turn signals, and one Hot wire inside the collum
    the wires coming out and going to each side (right-left) blink/power on off from the flasher

    do you want your camera signal/picture going blinking on off

    you will need manual switch form a separate hot source
    or get fancy using a separate hot source and 'latching relays' that come on when the turn signal for that side is activated, then time out after your turn
