I cut the plug off my power lead that went into a 12v power socket and wired the red lead on the back of the fuse box to the fuse that powered the 12volt socket and the black earth wire to a bolt. When I switched on the ignition on the dash camera would not power up, but I could manually press the button and the unit would switch on, but 20 seconds later would switch off. So I resoldered the plug back on to the red and black wire and fitted a female socket adapter. Switched the ignition back on and it’s the same as before, it will only power up by switching it on manually and then it switches of after 20 seconds. Has cutting the wires and rejoining them somehow damaged the plug?.
