The whole point of the relay is to use the backup light at the "trigger" in the relay. Power to the actual relay and to the backup camera should come from another source.

Looks like i may need to power the reverse camera with a separate power besides the reverse light positive from the backup circuit.

Bummer...

Anyone run into this "Check Back Up Light" message due to change in the Back Up circuit resistance from connecting up the reverse camera power?

Thanks much!
