Anytime Navigation Mod Wiring

I purchased the anytime backup camera about a year ago,now I added the navigation override but I have questions about the wiring to a ch4x4 switch. The switch has 4 wires(green,red1,red2,black).
And the navigation override only has 2 wires (black and red).
How should I hook it up? I'm not very electrically inclined.

 

Not exactly sure how the anytime camera is set up but here is a basic understanding of how your switch works...

The first thing to know is that wires 3 and 4 are completely optional. They are only there for lighting up the switch and they get connected just like batteries in a flash light.

Connect wire 4 to ground (the negative terminal of a battery) and wire 3 goes to a 12 Volt source (the positive terminal of a battery).
If you connect wire 3 to the truck battery the switch will light up, if you connect it to an ignition or accessory wire the switch will light up when you turn on ignition or accessory. Most of the time you will hook up wire 3 to an illumination wire so that the switch lights up when you turn on the headlights. I usually find an illumination wire on the back of the radio.

Wires 1 and 2 are the important ones and they work exactly like a light switch in your home. Wire 1 (Green) is the input and wire 2 is the output. What you input into the switch is up to you. It can be 12 Volts, ground, a video signal, a data line, whatever... When the switch is open (when the switch is off) whatever is going in to wire 1 is stopped from going any further. Then when you turn the switch on (close the switch) whatever you put in on wire 1 continues it's way out on wire 2.

Those are the basics, but please keep in mind that these switches are rated at 3 Amps. That means that whatever you are connecting to wire 2, if that thing requires a lot of power (most lights, the horn, any kind of motor or pump) this switch will burn out. Therefore wire 2 should be attached to a relay. A relay is basically just another type of switch that can handle higher power (usually up to 40 Amps).

Hope this helps.

 

Yap. What he said. There's 2 wires that power a small LED inside the switch and there's 2 wires that basically connect together, like a home light switch, or like touching the two wires together.

 

FYI the nav override is actually a single wire that is split in half. So if you connect the black and red together, you get navigation.
