Installed 10.4 Video into 2004 Tahoe,  Monitor has Dome Lights that are Negative Ground.  I Installed a Relay to convert + to Neg.  But....Tahoe has Dome lights that are Positive and they DIM down to 0 volts causing the Relay to BUZZ when they go off
HELP???

Can you tell us how you wired the relay ? If the input signal goes to ground on a relay that converts a (+) to a (-) then, the relay should do nothing because all 4 terminals will be (-). Another way to hook up the dome light system is to grab each door individually.

The driver door trigger is gray/black at the driver door module in the door. The RF door trigger is BLACK/ white at the passenger door module in the door. The LR door trigger is lt. blue/black, pin A3, and the RR is lt. GREEN/ black, pin A2, they are in the purple plug at the BCM. Use all four wires and diode isolate each

Pin 87 to ground
Pin 86 to ground
pin 30 to Video Dome Lights
Pin 85 to Positive Dome light wire Gray/Black

When the Dome light fades out the relay starts to BUZZ and stops when lites are off.  It's only about 2 - 3 seconds of buzz.  I thought it was a bad Relay, replaced it & it still does it. I guess it is because th voltage slowly drops from 12 to 0

I highly recommend pulling all 4 door triggers individually. Pin A1 on the purple BCM is the liftgate and liftgate glass trigger. You might want to tie it in too.

You can do it!

WOW....R U saying I have to go to all the doors just to make the Dome Light come on?  Maybe I should just leave it and use the Manual switch on the unit.
I thought maybe there was a different Relay or smoething.
THANKS for the Help
