Dashcam install

[Gerradi]

I had a Blackvue Dashcam fitted earlier this year , after awhile I started having various warning dashlights pop up. The last one stranded me & relates to a DTC's for throttle body problems. The breakdown guy scanned the car said he thought it could be a low Battery due to Dashcam fitment. 2 wires for Dashcam 1 goes to the 10 amp fuse for OBDII power & the other 15 amp Fuse for TMPS ? The 3 dash warning lights are TMPS , Traction Control & EPC...Is this fitted incorrectly ?

Presumably the OBD wire connection is permanent 12V and the other is ignition on 12V supply.

I'd move the 12V ignition on supply first as you may be getting noise from the dashcam voltage stabiliser circuitry causing false DTC.

If that doesn't help then move the permanent 12V connection as well.

I usually take both power inputs off the radio connector or directly off the fuseboard.

Other thing to check is the current drain from the dashcam if it's set to record for 24hrs.

Are you sure it not a throttle body issue? If it was a battery issue then it would most likely through up a lot more faults. Get a proper diagnosis of the throttle body before wasting time chasing a problem that probably does not exist.

Thankyou for the helpful replies, I think it is set to come on every 4 minutes or if any movement etc . I will book it into a Electrical workshop asap. I was surprised he said low battery as its on C-TEK & I have a run roughly once a month. Although the fitter at Halfords said they hadn't fitted this type of camera before .
