Hi, I'm after a wiring diagram for a Connect Nav unit to help with a problem I'm having!
I'm having difficulty with my Abarth Connect Nav+ unit. I have recently installed a rather funky reversing camera which needed a switch positive feed to power it up, only when the car was on. I used a multimeter to track down a switched feed off the back of the stereo. The one I picked was the blue wire next to the red constant positive wire. Well the TFT powers up and down off of this wire just fine, but now the HU doesn't power down at all. Stays on constantly no matter what I do to the key. This morning, the car battery was flat as a pancake, the car was running fine last night, so the battery went from fine to flat in about 8 hours. The battery was new 3 months ago. The setup for the reversing camera is as follows.
The TFT screen takes a feed from the blue wire off the back of the HU and a ground from the black wire off the back of the HU. It also takes a switching feed from the reversing light. The camera takes a power feed from the reversing light feed and grounds to the black wire in the rear cluster.
The camera only turns on when I engage reverse, and the screen only powers up when the ignition is on.
Any ideas where my sudden massive power drain could be. The battery is a 70Ah model, it read 8.4volts this morning! Proper flat!
I have unplugged the stereo, disconnected the wiring to the TFT screen, but left the wiring to the reversing light.
Would changing ground to the car body from the existing wires help at all?
