These cars are different from most in that the reverse lights have constant 12v all the time on one wire, and the ground is switched from the REM. I would self tap the ground for the sensors, and use a relay off the negative reverse wire (BLACK/ red or BLACK/ green) to invert it to supply 12volts to the hot wire for the sensors.

85: to (-) reverse wire
86: to constant or ignition 12v
30: to constant or ignition 12v
87: to red wire on reverse sensors

I am trying to wire backup warning sensors. Both wires to backup lights are positive when car is not in reverse causing the backup sensor to be active all the time.. I was told by a member that I would have to hook up a relay to fix this problem. Would anyone know what type of relay I would need & the correct way to wire the positive wire for the sensor & the backup lights.

thx
