Sorry, need one wire only: the 12v red (in the engine compartment) leading to the hitch. The hitch is powered ALL the time. I need the relay inline with this red wire, and I do not want to put the relay at the hitch end. I have the wiring diagram for the relay. I have the Helm manuals. I have a butt load of wires in cable looms after running my roof lights, grille lights, reverse light, and rear fog light. Have a look through your Helm manuals, or have a look here for the magical wire:
Steve - SanJose ... next time you are making happy snaps of your H3 could I trouble you to grab one of your engine compartment by the battery. Or do you know where your installer installed the relay for your HitchCAM?

Re: Did you use the relay with your HitchCam?
Why not use a loop end connector and run a wire off the battery(with a fuse close to the battery off course)
I did that to run the relay for my airhorns and another one for my compressor.
Dont try to put loop under terminal nut(that only backs off dont remove it)put the loop over nut and use a 2nd nut (10 mm I think)
You would have to run a new wire back to hitch.

Re: Did you use the relay with your HitchCam?
LOL - What are you on about? I need one red wire. I don't need loop connectors, extra wires ran to the hitch, engine compartment lights, air compressors, etc.
Reminds me of a joke -- "How many H3ers does it take to find a red wire?"
Steve - San Jose ... save me.

Re: Did you use the relay with your HitchCam?
