Today I hardwired my dashcam and radar detector in a 2017 Nissan Altima I used a fuse tap device. When I plugged in the fuse tap and turned on the key, voltage tests good on my meter. But, when I turn off the ignition, the voltage drops to ~5 volts and slowly goes to zero after a minute or so. I tried a couple of other fuse slots and it is the same.
This is not an issue for Uniden R3 radar detector. But it is for a G1W dashcam. It keeps trying turn on but shuts down. It keeps doing this until the voltage goes low or zero. It's like a boot loop.
My other cars do not have residual voltage. So the G1W dashcams work fine in those. I asked at the stereo shop today. They don't know of any fix. He said some cars do that.
Anything that can be done to help? I can turn off the cam before turn off the key, but....I shouldn't have to do that.
