thanks

 

tail lamp switch.

 

What are you running off of it?

 

the closet one is the tail lamp but it will only work when you turn your lights on, let me know if you find something

 

time to get out the multimeter?

 

Tail light...... why?


~limsandy

 

12volt power supply in either the rear seats or the one in the shifter console are the only ones i found.

 

Why not use the latch ckt for the auto trunk release? It HAS to have a constant +12V so the remote and button inside the driver's door will operate it.

 

the opener/actuator is on different terminal than the trunklid / fuel door switch. so i do not think the power is constant. i could be wrong though.

 

Im pretty sure the tail light has a constant 12v+...some1 needs to test the wires.

 

I think you may be trying to figure out how to install the keyhole camera like I am. ?? because I have this question also

 

is the tail lamp wire constant or only hot when i turn tail lights on


keyhole camera

 

damn....there goes trying that


i think i need to go buy one.....

 

i didnt want to go that far...but if i do then i'll just tap into rear seats cig. lighter

 

i tried....no good


yea anybody know for sure?

 

..... u havent wired it either?

 

I know on the 02's and 03's that the subwoofer has a constant power lead going to it.

 

its not the sub that has the lead...its the amp in the rear deck. There should be a thick red wire there....

 

your right it is the amp

 

lol...i ordered mine early this week and im trying to figure out how i would do this b4 it gets here i ordered the ccd 105 degree silver one....and yes i completely forgot about the sub amd back there.

 

i have an amp remote wire that runs from my h/u....i thought its 12v

i wont take chance....i'm just gonna have to go to rear cig lighter

 

rear cig lighter would be easiest to find. the tail lamp, sub, rear trunk release all wold not have a 12V ignition on them.

 

not sure if its been posted yet, but any bose equipped maxima will have an amp back there.

 

What about the trunk light?

 

that only gets 12v when the trunk is open. why can't you use your remote turn on?

 

i havent read on this....but dont want to short it some how & this wire goes directly to my h/u which cost me a pretty penny

 

as long as the camera is grounded you shouldnt short out your head unit

 

Actually, come to think of it, it would be easier to route from the front 12v. You have to dissassemble the whole console just to get to the back of it. For the front, you have to just pop of the shifter console. The wiring willk be the same cause i dont think you want to dig up your carpet.

 

the camera mounts in the trunk keyhole and the power which comes from it is roughly 1 1/2 feet long, and theres a Video plug. why would you run the short power wire from the trunk to the front console??? the video wire yes but the power wire no.

 

sorry "power wire"

 

because that is pretty much the only available 12v. Are we on the same page? I thought he asked about a 12v constant. All you have to do is splice a wire and there you go... a longer power wire.

 

there is a constant 12v source in the latch for the trunk it is for the light switch of the trunk light. just tap into the wire before the switch. i am using that to power the memory of my sat tuner.

 

exactly where is this wire?

thanks

 

did you figure anything out?
