Trailer mounted camera help
Does anyone have a link where I can print off an owner's manual for my trailer mounted back up camera?
Also, I just picked up my trailer from the trailer builder. They mounted and wired the camera system, but it doesn't work. When I push the auxiliary camera button, it shows an icon of a camera with a line through it ( as if to say no camera installed). Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to trouble shoot it?
Any and all help appreciated!

I dropped the spare and there was nothing directly above it. I found a harness and unused plug in front and above the spare zip tied on the frame. It appeared to be the only unused plug there and it fit the other end.

The only harness I found was zip tied onto the frame above and behind the spare. It was the correct type of plug, so I assumed it to be the right one.

I removed the old 7 round/4 flat plug in from the bumper and connected the new one to the plugs on the truck, checked both to make sure they were fully connected.

so just to be clear you’ve now hooked up the harness you found ( zip tied to the frame ) and your camera still doesn’t work.

David Smiley did a video on you tube. Maybe that will help. Can’t remem if you need to make any settings in The advanced settings. Don’t think so. Sorry man not much I can do from here in Canada.

I did that as part of the initial install before I even tried to use it.
