The camera does need power for it to work, which is usually used from the reverse light, or switch...

Upon further research the black plug on the rca harness is a 2.1mm dc socket. Thinking i could wire a male plug to the cig lighter or use one of these?

Wired the cam up to the reverse positive and negative and nothing. Tested both ends with a multimeter both getting 12v

I feel your pain mate. After a river crossing a little while back, my Pioneer camera just stopped working. I was hoping it'll be the little inline fuse, in the camera's 12V+ supply cable, but, I wasn't of such luck. Seems like the whole camera has died after being sumberged for a little bit.

Those 4 pin connectors should be usually wired up as the top 2 holes with the indent in it to line up would be + and -
The ones on the bottom are usually for the rca inputs and reverse switch
But it depends on how the camera was wired up and the original cables were run in the first place. Have you got the wiring diagram for the camera?
Probably be way easier pulling them out and running all new stuff instead of stuffing around unless you can determine whats going where on the cables already installed.
Basically you need the reverse wire to connect to the rear of the head unit , so it knows to switch to camera. Can do this one of 2 ways. Find the one coming from the gear selector or run one from the back of the car from reverse light.
Then wire to the reverse light to the camera as well. Run a ground from where you want to.
RCA From camera to head unit for the signal.
I added a switch in so i can over ride it when i want as well. This does mean running another positive though to the camera. If you do this though make sure to put a diode in the + line to the reverse globe or it will light up when you hit the over ride switch.
Hope that makes sense.
