Happy new year & Peaceful New year to all.
I am trying to fit a reversing camera on a S type 03 I am having problems trying to find the reversing light feed on the drivers side cluster as all except one is live, i would think im not the only one who has came across this problem, if anyone out there has any ideas or has fitted one any information  would be very much appreciated

Hi Richard and Welcome to the Club,

Sorry but I cannot help you myself but I'm sure there are any number of others who can. You could also try a search on the site for Reversing Camera installation and perhaps even on YouTube. Watch out for a reply from Raistlin(Paul) he'll steer you right but if all else fails you could always PM him.

Cheers,

Steve

Steve,

hi

you wont find a switched live feed for reverse, the jaguar s-type uses switched negatives,

a permanent 12 volts feed goes to the bulb, then the rear control module switches the negative/earth to bring the light on

you will need to do the same with the camera, take 12v to the red of the camera supply and then take the black to the reverse light

also each rear light cluster has 2 12 volts feeds to each cluster

cheers

Joe

Joe,
