Ray Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 If I remember correctly the vss wire is white in the ecm under the hood by the batt. next to green . o wait........ behind radio green with white in the radio harness. and you only need rev. signal for use with a backup camera. if you need that its in the ign. harness. must test. or find in in the harness going to rear in the drvr side sill plate. Off the top of my head of course, ill try to remember to look later for you, but that should do it.. and always use a dmm when testing.

Forevrbumpn Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I thought the reverse wire was for the GPS, so it knows how far you have reversed, ect ect Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

ChevyBoy Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I thought the reverse wire was for the GPS, so it knows how far you have reversed, ect ect precisely. if u turn while in reverse, it thinks u turned while in drive so if u make a 90, u actually made a 180 and are goin north instead of south lol.

Ray Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 i have never hooked up rev. wire.. its for a rear camera input, the navi knows where your at via the gps ant. most of the time you dont even need the vss wire. sure its yours hook everything up, hell i prob. would in my car too. If i was rich enough to have 1.
