Furrion backup camera install
https://www.mygrandrv.com/fo...1&d=1513950040
The photo is the rear of a Reflection fifthwheel with Furrion Mount. I am trying to install Backup camera to the running lights.
In this photo, does anyone know which wires are what? The white and green are the running lights, the Black wire with the connector, plugs into camera, that leaves the 2 black wires, is that the camera wire that has been cut, one end is taped, and the other with the black and red leads will be connected to the running lights?

I advise you to check the polarity of the green and white wires

I can't say for sure. But after looking at the manual, I would say the black wire with the red and black leads splayed out are the other end of the male adapter plug for the camera. These were probably pulled up with the existing always on wire that is now sticking out the light mount with the tape on the ends. Red and black wire will now be spliced into the corresponding leads for the running light.
Just my guess.Allyn & Sue

You are correct. The picture posted by Mark is actually one that I posted last summer. I must have had a brain fart because it doesn't appear I took a picture of the final connections to the running lights, and I don't recall the polarity. A quick check with a voltmeter should provide that info.

Correct. I was able to snag the camera cable thru the hole behind the light mount using a wire coat hanger. Be careful- the edge of the hole is very sharp. If you poke your finger into it, you are likely to leave some of your finger behind.

I used a tube of 100% silicone caulk (clear). In addition to sealing the running light back plate, be sure to put a dab on each mounting screw for both the light and the camera.
