Backup Camera not working

 I am having trouble getting the backup camera to work on my AVIC2.  I have had this unit in the car for over 5 years and recently took it out for repair of the screen rotation.

After putting the unit back in the rear camera will not come on when in reverse.  I have made sure I have power and the purple and white wire is hooked up with no breaks in the wire (I ran a separate wire to insure I did not have a short).  I also have bypassed the backup switch to make sure it is not the backup switch (I am using a Lokar switch for a 700R4 transmission).  

When I go to rear view mode (trailer mode as I call it) it works fine.

I google and looked at this site about the backup camera and appears a lot of people have problems with the backup camera mode.

Any suggestions would help.

I found a short and going to put a new wire in - believe it will solve the issue.
