I have a 2013 Raptor and the front camera will not stay enabled.

When I go into the truck apps and push to enable the camera it appears to enable then about 3-5 seconds later it defaults to disabled.

Any ideas?

I have also tried being in 4Low before enabling the camera without any success (also attempted the Offroad mode + Locked rear too).

What speed? It does shut off over like 15mph or something or if you aren't in drive.

Sequence = pull rear locker, off-road mode, then enable in 4x4 setting, put truck in drive. Should work.

0mph - the front camera doesn't stay in the "enabled" mode - it just flips to disabled for no reason/automatically?

When you enable the front camera on your truck does it stay enabled even if you are in 2WD?

I have tried doing the above steps before enabling the front camera and it still turns off/disables in the camera app on its own.

I have driven other Raptors and have no problem making the front camera work on them.. but for whatever reason my front camera will not stay enabled.

Mine will stay on in 2WD if I have off-road mode and the rear locker engaged.

What happens if you enable the front camera without being in off-road mode and rear locked engaged? Does the front camera still show as being enabled/on or does it disable right away within the dashboard menu.

I have to be in off-road and 4low for it to work. If I go back to 2hi with it on it disables

I think it tells me on screen I have to do that stuff to enable it. I'll see exactly, it displays instructions, but actually IS enabled if I recall. What I mean by that is that if I THEN put it in off-road/locker the camera will flip on without me having to tell it to try again.

Thanks for checking.. my assumption is that the camera should stay enabled on the cluster if you enable it and will show up on the nav screen after you put it into off-road/locker mode.

Mine won't stay enabled/turn on in the cluster for some odd reason..I wonder if there is a fuse for the front camera that could be blown or something.
