Quick Splice and Circuit Tester for Tapping into Vehicle Reverse Light
Question:
i was wondering if you could help me. i own a 2017 dodge journey. im installing a backup camera to my new journey and was wounding if you have a wiring harness that will connect to the reverse light that is on the inner driver side on the tail gate. so that when i put the car in reverse the camera will turn on. i dont like cutting into factory wires so im looking for a wire harness so i can connect the positive wire from the camera to it. any information will help. thank you for your time.

None of the trailer wiring harnesses we offer are designed to tap into the circuit you need. Only option would be to use a quick splice like part # SWC501915-1 to tap into the circuit after probing the wiring for the reverse light with a tester like part # PTW2993.
