fjjohnny Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Does anyone know what type of fuse/resistor is being used on the reverse signal line? I have power on one side (the side being provided w/power) but not the other side that leads to the head unit. So i need to replace it but with what? Thanks for any help!

Two_Cold Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I thought it was a resister, but was corrected by a sales rep for Pioneer. He said it was a fuse. A customer wanted me to hook up the reverse wire, but he lost the fused wire. I asked the sales rep if he had a spare or if it was necessary. He said it was a fuse and gave me one out of a returned AVIC he had. I have never tested to make sure it is a fuse or opened it up to confirm. Makes sense if it is a fuse because backup lights do tend to short out over time on some cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brdnboy Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 it is actually a "fuse resistor" i took mine apart. I have no idea what the rating for the resistance or fuse is. I am currently not using it. i have my reverse wire hook directly up to a 12 v source. It has been working flawlessly for many months, so i am going to go ahead and say you don't need it, but someone correct me if i am wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
