 Backup Circuit
I was installing a backup camera on my 2014 RT. Did a pre-test and all worked fine. Went ahead and did the hard wire and when I finished and tested the system it didn't work. Now I've also lost my backup lights. I have 2014 Electrical diagrams from BRP but they don't show the backup light system or fuses. Does anyone know what fuse controls the backup lights and where it is located? TIA

The lights are not can-buss. The cluster is and the cluster switches the 12V to the lights.
Like adding any lights or tapping into lights, the issue is the load the cluster sees on the circuit. This is how it detects a burned out bulb. When the load changes you get a fast flash for instance on the turn signals.
Use of resistors to make the cluster see the same load works.

To all thanks, I was able to locate the issue and thankfully it was an easy fix. Ground wire had one little strand at the backup light touching the hot input grounding it all. I appreciate everyone that offered help!!!

Glad it was the short I suspected. Good thing it didn't take out the fuse.
