You up may need to purchase another one.
Just so you know, there is a grommet behind the licence plate. There are cameras that mount on the top two screws of the plate.
I dont Int think you will be able to repair the one you have.
Sorry for the the bad news.
Oops!
Thanks for the reply, as I say I am pretty ignorant about these matters, but I cannot see what is really wrong.
I wondered if I somehow had mixed up the positive and negative wires when tapping into the reverse light to camera and head. One can only hope my Sony camera is not toast. I have not mounted the camera yet so that is a small plus.
Update
I have just checked the wiring and found that I have crossed the + and - wires, I will correct that and then see what is what, fingers crossed.
Update
SHOW TIME. Reversing the wires did the trick we now have video.
Now to mount the camera.
