Can anyone give me an idea of where the revers switch is on my 2013 Ram 2500 5.7L Hemi 4x4? I have scoured the internet and haven't found anything. I am trying to connect my Rear View Safety Camera RVS 770614-213. I have power to the camera and monitor. I tried to power the system off the reverse light, so when I put the truck in reverse it automatically displays the video image and grid lines. However, when I did this the video monitor togles between a black screen and the reverse image and the grid lines flash on and off. Rear View Safety Tech Support said I need to find another reverse power source and recommended the reverse switch. I found information that indicates the Reverse Switch or Neutral Safety Switch is somewhere on the transmission. I could not find a reverse power wire anywhere under the dash. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Power a relay from the reverse lights, and then power the rear view kit from the relay (relay wired to battery or some other constant 12v source).
I'm not certain, but a computer might be monitoring the power for your backup lights, to detect bulb failure, and that interferes with your camera kit.
