I do not know and I can't check anymore.

You could trace it back from the light bulb. Besides I think it would be better to pin into the taillight as opposed to the car harness.

eventually you might try hma service, however the best option IMO is to probe wires.

 

Thanks for the tip. I tried to follow which wire went to which light but I couldn't get the metal panel off that would reveal which wire went where. So I guessed (dumb I know) Turns out the green and green with white stripe goes to the brakes.

Anyways, slightly off topic, I have another question.

I used speaker wire as sort of an extension for my camera wires. I cut my camera wire which reveal 4 inner copper wires. Two for power and two for video. (This was necessary since the camera wire had a bulge that wouldn't fit through the hole behind my license plate.)

The power seems to work fine, but does speaker wire work for extending a video cable? The video cable has a yellow end like the RCA red, white and yellow cables. I could get flickering to show up on my car stereo whenever I hit the brakes, indicating power was working, but no image showed up so I assume using that speaker wire to lengthen that video cable was a bad move.

Any thoughts?

Edit: I know, lots of bad decisions here but the camera was only 18 bucks and the only wire I had lying around was speaker wire. Either I had to drill a large hole behind my license plate to fit the camera wire, or I had to use some kind of extension, thinner wire to go through the hole that was already there.

 

You need to use 75ohm video cable to extend. Speaker wire will not work for video. Rca cable is cheap just hit up a dollar store or walmart. Solder connections for best results.

 

Thanks for the advice!

Will speaker wire work just fine for extending the power wires?

 

In case anyone stumbles upon this thread, the ORANGE wire is for reverse. The black is the ground.

 

HYNDAI ELANTRA reverse wire color

I just spent the weekend hooking hooking up a new car stereo with the back up camera on my HYNDAI ELANTRA. The wire you need to splice into in order for the camera to turn on when you put the car in reverse is the on the DRIVER'S SIDE, and it is the BROWN WIRE.

I'll give you thumbs up if it is right. First need to see if I have brown wire there.
