My Backup Camera install

Backup camera - rear window cutting wires

The planets aligned today and both of my kids were napping at the same time so I figured I'd be able to get it done in 2-3 hours. I got the wires ran and my camera installed but (thankfully) I decided to test the rear window before I buttoned everything up. Whenever I roll down the rear window, it snags on the cord and would snap it. I reran the wire 3 times and fixed my connections 3 times before giving up. So now I have a camera installed, and the wires ran into the inside of the 4runner, but their not connected because the window keeps cutting them. What am I doing wrong?!

Finished my backup camera install this past weekend. Zip tie your camera wires to the existing wire harness. Do not have any slack dangling in the hatch cavity. If the camera wires are snug against the existing harness, they won't get caught on the window.

The attached photo shows rubber grommet where the camera wire feeds into cavity from exterior camera. Wire is zip tied to existing harness and runs to driver side of cavity. You can see the red and yellow RCA plugs running to the left (they are loose in the photo since I wasn't done yet, but the final install has the wires very snug against the harness).

Backup camera install tutorial

Where did all the photos in the tutorial go? :scared:

Don't know what happened to the photos, but this YouTube video helped me with my install:

Has anybody gotten hyper flash after installing the backup camera? I tapped into the reverse wire at the tail light so I didn’t have to worry about running power all the way to the front. I’ve looked everywhere but I can find out how to fix it for a backup camera. I’m considering putting in a load resistor but I wanted to see if anybody knew that would work before i did that.

I am not sure how a camera install would cause this. Where did you set up the power wire ? seen people tapping into the backup light power source. if you go that route there is a tap that does not require any cutting. I know Cructhfield sells them.
