18 Silverado Reverse Led activate reverse camera

[jonesalexryan]

Hi guys 

 

Searched all over the web and couldn't find an answer to this mystery wondering if anyone else experienced the same. 

 

Installed LED reverse lights a few months ago. Worked great all was well, about three weeks ago a buddy of mine had LED projection tail lights that were brighter than the ones I had to I swapped them out. Last week In the cold my reverse camera randomly came on. I figured because of snow and slush on the road water had gotten in somewhere and shorted something out. Put it in the heated garage all night let it dry out and +5 the next day it seemed to go away. However I narrowed the issue down to only happening when my headlights are on. 

 

Long story short I've determined that when I have leds in my reverse sockets the reverse camera activates all the time only when the night time lights are on. If there are no bulbs in either socket I get the same thing however when I put the stock bulbs back in the tail lights everything works fine. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is. I thought maybe it was a bad led bulb so I put my origional LEDs in that worked for months and the camera still activates. 

 

Anyone have any idea ? My buddy has a 17 and has run led reverse lights since new without issue. 

 

For record I'm driving a Canadian 2018 Silverado LS regular cab Long box. The only other lights I have changed to led on the truck are the license plate lights and the cargo lights. I changed these the same time I converted everything three months ago so I don't think they have anything to do with it. Everything else is stock. 

 

Thanks

I've narrowed this down to the left marker side parking lights back feeding the reverse lights. If i remove the fuse from the left side marker lights the problem goes away. 

 

Hoping someone can shed some light on this or point me to a wiring schematic? 

 

Thanks
