Installed it early last winter (Dec. 2016): Thinkware F770 with Cellink B, hardwire kit.
Worked perfect up until last week. Came on when truck was turned on, went into parking record mode when truck was turned off.
I noticed last week while driving that the green GPS light wasn't on. So I pushed the ON/OFF button on the F770. It came on, started continuous recording. It might have done that a few days in a row, but lately it doesn't turn on unless I push the ON/OFF button, says GPS connected, continuous recording started, then parking mode recording started.
It does that EVERY time. So obviously it's not getting the ACC signal from the Cellink B battery, since the presence of power on ACC turns it on and starts continuous recording, and the loss of ACC power makes it switch to parking mode recording.
I switched the Cellink B to the 5A charge setting, connected it to my cigarette lighter adapter, and tried powering it that way. Same thing. F770 required pushing ON/OFF button, and once on it went into parking recording.
I plugged the F770 into the cig. lighter adapter that it came with. Worked fine. (no parking mode recording of course - which is what I bought it for, and my cig. lighter is ALWAYS on, so if I forget to unplug it when I turn the truck off for the day, it's going to run my truck battery dry).
Fuse in the hardwire kit is good.
I have NOT changed any of the wiring since initial installation and heat shrinks around connections are still looking like when I first put them on.
Ideas???
