Had wired to my Dodge worked ok took it off Dodge and installed on a 2007 Ford F-150 works ok but when you hit brake it goes off any solution

Expert Reply:
Does it go off with either blinker too? If so, then the problem is theres a short on the wiring from the stop/turn signal to the power wires of the camera. Otherwise the problem is most likely a weak ground and when you apply the brakes the insufficient ground shows up and cuts the camera off.
Solution for this is to try jumping the wiring of the ground to a known working ground and see if that helps.

I have a 2013 Toyota Tundra hooked up to a 2019 Keystone Premier RV with a Haloview Rear Camera and Side Marker Cameras. I replaced a Yuwei Rear Camera that worked great but wanted side cameras. I have excellent picture quality out of all three cameras when parked, but I lose the rear camera when I push brake pedal. Side cameras hooked to front amber lights not impacted. Tested Toyota 7 way connector with tester - truck ok. Every time I push brake, camera signal lost on rear camera. Occassionally, left signal causes rear camera to go off. A transmitter is connected to the rear camera through a 12 m cable run on the trailer roof. Power to camera and transmitter is supplied from Furrion wire at rear (spliced in). The transmitter has a blue power light that stays on but the transmitter WIFI blue light goes off when brakes pushed. Rear top marker lights seem to be slightly dimmer when push brakes. Next week I am going to replace all of the incandescent lights with LED where I have the red light covers to reduce the load (Yuwei camera worked great, maybe I have added too much load?). Last resort would be to tie into one of the amber lights since the side marker cameras work great. I really thought I was done with this job. Any ideas?
