Started my install today, unfortunately through stupid mistakes I messed a lot of it up so nowhere near finished. The first
problem was the camera stand; it was not in the correct position and I couldn't get it apart to turn it round which led to it snapping whilst shaping it. Then to top it all off, whist trying to figure out
how to mount it with a broken stand the cables broke so looks like I'll be buying a new one. (Annoying delays)
2nd
problem is my
badge sits too close to the boot lid frame to be able to mount the servo on the side like others so had to have it on top. This took some figuring out as didn't really know
how to mount a spring to return the servo to stating position. Spent hours trying to tweak the internal spring and eventually managed to get it to shut itself without an additional one.
So far only drilled and fitted the servo, voltage reducer and servo driver. Due to the fact I broke the camera I have only cut the slot for the cable in the middle of the handle but not drilled through the casings yet.
Whilst trying to figure out how others connected their looms as no one has included specifics or photos yet, I discovered that the reversing light plug unclips at the back edge so the wires can just be tucked inside for the positive and negative.
Will try and upload a few photos of progress when I get a chance.
I have a couple of questions?
1. Is the dial on the tester for adjusting the servo arm angle or speed of the turn?
2. When in reverse the servo is buzzing as if its straining slightly, is this right? I assume it has to continue to fight against the spring otherwise it will return to position.
3. Can anyone upload pics of their earth points and where they connected positive wires for the regulator and servo tester.
4. Did people use the same pos and neg points for the camera as they did regulator. Pics please?
