Mac48 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 1989 2.2 L. I am looking to install wifi backup camera and want to hook it up to an ignition controlled power supply rather than brake light control. I will use my Android phone as the monitor and there is a 30 seconds delay if hooked up to the backup light but I only want to power the camera when the ignition switch is on. I really don't want to run power all the way from under the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinCamFan Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I'm thinking your closest ignition hot to the trunk other than back up would be to the rear windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garnet & Gold Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I'm thinking the pull down motor switch would be the easiest to get to and real handy to the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac48 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 I thought pull down motor switch is hot all the time? I need something that is only hot when ignition is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Dude Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Then you will have to tap into the fuel pump circuit or get it from the fusebox which would be the preferred source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostymosty Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Maybe the rear window defrost wiring would work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac48 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 I had thought about circuit but I don't want to take a chance on blowing a fuse. I had not even thought about the rear window defrost wiring but that sounds like the perfect way to go. It is even switchable from the front. Thanks.
