We purchased a Haloview RD-10 backup camera and planned to replace one of the running lights with the camera and use the power from the running light to power the camera. All 5 of the running lights are wired in parallel so cutting the + and - lead from the center wire didn't affect the other 4. However, we cannot get the leads to power the camera or the light if we reconnect it. If we touch the + and - lead together it dims the other lights. I admit I am not an electrical genius but I thought I knew enough to handle this little DC wiring project. Can someone tell us what we are doing wrong?
