Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone have issues with the reliability of power supply from a hardwired fuse tap? The car is a 991.2 C2S, 16 plate, great car, definitely a keeper. Have hardwired front-facing and a rear-facing dashcams (Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2). Same issue with both. When you fire up the ignition both cams spring into life. You drive and both will be fine for a while. At some point, maybe 20 mins later, maybe an hour later, you notice that one or both of the dash cams has lost power. Front-facing uses RHS D9. Rear-facing uses LHS D8. According to this the RHS D9 is passenger footwell electric socket (20 amps) and the LHS D8 is the right headlight (15 amps). This is ongoing for a while now. Have moved the fuse taps around to see if it helped. Same behaviour. Don't think it's a faulty dashcam as they both behave in the same way. Have wondered whether the fuse taps become a little loose in normal driving (bumpy roads). Next course of action is to wire one in to the 12v lighter socket on a long drive and see what happens. Any ideas?

Have you checked if is not the camera by giving it a temporary power supply ?

POST 3Original post

Ive got the same camera but not a 991.2 (996) i use the garmin parking cable for my hardwire install and have never noticed any problems. What hardwire kit have you used?
