Thank you very much for your purchase from etrailer of the Rear View Safety Switcher Box # RVS-501N.

I reached out to the manufacturer who said to me that the issue is that you're not receiving enough voltage, and that you will need to utilize another power source to see if it triggers the camera when it is given 12V.
