Fuse for backup camera - Imagine 2400bh

[Skiddy]

To answer your first question, the fuse for the backup camera/observation camera is in your truck. The camera is powered from the marker lights so there is no fuse in the trailer.
I like this arrangement as @boyscout said, you can turn the camera on or off just by manually turning on your lights.

That is good to know that there is no separate fuse on TT so, if there is no power when lights are on, it must be the wires.

Well... it depends on how the factory installed the power for the camera. As I said in post #10 above, that installation has been done at least several different ways, including wired to full-time power (as the CO and propane alarms and a few other things are). You'd hope to gawd that there would be a fuse somewhere in those circuits, in the trailer. The guy who found his camera powered by his kitchen fan circuit would have a 12-volt fuse in the fuse panel for the circuit powering his camera.

But yes, if they were wiring them all to the marker lights (is that too much to ask?!) then the only fuse would be in the truck.

Surprising that they do it differently for every trailer. They should wire it the same way for all trailers, preferably to the marker light! Actually, backup camera should be provided as a standard equipment, not an option.
Thanks for your input anyway!

I admire your optimism. However if GD won't pay a foreman and an assembler enough to simply ensure that the camera power is wired properly and the same way on every trailer, they're not gonna be giving us a multi-hundred-dollar camera on every trailer.

Nice dream though!

Yup first thing first!
The workers should be paid enough first

Don’t give up on dreaming!
It will come true one day!

My Solitude has the fuse for the camera behind the plastic cover over the bus bar. This is located up in front department where battery is located.

I heard someone also has a fuse in the battery compartment. I guess that is where it is.
Thanks for the tip! I will check to see if my trailer also has a plastic cover around the battery location

Is your camera powered by the marker lights circuit?

No, I do not have to use lights for it to work.
