Vu ute 5speed 3.8L
I have a reverse camera on my vu then I put a eagle eye next to it for better vision and I took the tub liner out to do some other work with the sports bar then just recently I put another eagle eye next to the camera and put the tub liner back in and now nothing works in reverse so I cut the power to the 2 eagle eyes and its still not working? Would anyone know what the problem is because I have no idea?

connection to your reverse lights, maybe you've missed a connection or an earth

Where did you mount the camera?
And where did you run the wires?
Maybe when you put the tub liner back in, you have pinched a wire and it has either fractured the wire, or it has shorted out.
Check the wires very carefully for any damage.
Just the smallest piece of missing insulation from a wire and it can short out.

All the connections are good at the tail lights

I mounted the camera between the license plate and the hole to get the tire out and it's in the ute not screwed on then I followed the wires along the trailer connect plug
Well when I put the tub liner back in I stripped the aerial cable and that may have shorted something

I took the tub liner out so I could mount a aerial on the sports bar so I could feed the cable thru the side panel then to the cab. And a eagle eye I's a small circle that has 2 LEDs in it

Check the reverse light switch?
Just join the 2 wires on the switch and see if the reverse lights come on.
Join them with ignition off and fuse out.
Then test.
