backup camera

Ive got it. I figured out how to make it work with the help of Tasca Auto Parts.
You will need 3 Things, 12v Switched, Ground and a one RCA cut in half.
12v+/0: needs to be connected to Pin 1 (White/Lt. Blue - 18ga)
Ground: to Pin 6 (White - 18ga)
RCA Center Pin: Pin 4 (Red/Yellow - 18ga)
RCA Outside Pin: Pin 5 (Black/Yellow - 18ga)

well I'm really ticked off right now, I finally get my OEM Camera and what happens the wires are color coded different and I tried everything to make it work and nothing. I think I might have killed the camera. This really blows 200 + dollars down the drain, why does Ford do that, I see no need to change wiring around and change colors. Although, Ford didn't force me to buy the camera, it still sucks.

I just installed my cam and handle this weekend with no problems. Is that pics of the tailgate harness that plugs into the cam harness? Mine did not look like that (wires looked rigged). I cut the end of the tailgate harness off at the bottom of the gate and ran a 8-13g wire bundle to the back of the radio. I think you could always just buy a new tailgate harness from somewhere like tasca for under $25 ship incl. and see if that one is better. Is there a way you can get some alligator clips and test the cam with your TV?

I've got all the wiring to the head unit already done because I have a camera already installed and I have quick disconnects for the camera so that I can test it with the new camera I'm trying to install, but my problem is that I can't Identify which wire is which I don't know which one is the power, ground, video + and video -, since the wire harness has six wires that don't match the wiring harness posted on the the thread. I just don't know which wire is which and how many I need to wire. I've tried wiring it, but with no luck. It's frustrating as hell.

Ok, try this - Red is power ,Black #2 is shied (not used), Blue is not used, White # 4 pin is vid +, White #5 is vid -, and Black # 6 is ground. I made notes of what colors the wires turned into on the pic you also have in these pics. looks like #2 was a shield for something I folded it over and taped it up. So someone joined the shield and the ground from your pics. Is this helping?
