Hello,
I am experiencing a strange electrical issue.
1997 LX450. Recently hard wired a dash cam to the fuse box.
At idle, I am reading steady 11.7V and my hard wired dash cam shuts off.
When I give it some gas, the voltage rises up to 14V and the dash cam turns back on but then immediately goes back down to 11.7 when I let off the gas and then the cam shuts off again. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
I am going to check all fuses now. Battery terminals are nice and secure.
I also suspect it might be the dash cam wiring kit since that was recently installed.
Other things to check?
Battery and alternator are both less than a year old.
Could a faulty voltage regulator be causing this?
I also plan on installing a new fusible link and junction box soon.
Thanks in advance, I really don’t want to get stuck.
