Backup Monitor Wiring 2002 Discovery
Hello all -
I am replacing the backup camera and display (original 'crt' model) on our 2002 Discovery with a new camera and display.
I am running new power and video feeds from the front to the rear camera; part of the problem with the old system was the wiring and tempermental work/no work situation. I am taking power from the front at the display, and running it to the rear camera.
My question is this: there is a sort of 'transformer' at the end of the chassis harness that also has a small fuse in it (I am attaching a photo of the transformer). Is this transformer there to drive the old-style monitor? The new flat digital monitor does not need anything per the manual besides clean 12v and video signal.
So...should I remove the transformer box, or feed off of the transformer with fuse? Or replace transformer and fuse with an in-line fuse?
Lastly...what about the ground? There is a green 'ground' wire from the transformer, but the new display does not have a ground input. The new camera is grounded to the chassis. Would it be recommended to connect the ground to the black (negative ground) terminal for the display, or just terminate the ground with no connection?
The camera and all works fine (the wires are all run), but I wasn't sure if I should remove the transformer.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
