Rear back-up camera advice

[bruceboyer]

My Raptor is just over 2 years old and Ive been having rear camera problems for over 1.5 years!! Anyone else had this issue? Ford cannot seem to fix the problem - its been back to my local Ford dealer 4 times and they cannot fix it (camera works say 75% of the time)! I complained to senior Ford rep., but they did nothing. Any advice? I live in Cali.

What is the problem?

Are you getting an message on the Nav system saying something like it, can't connect? I was having that issue quit a bit last winter, but when I took it to the stealership, it worked just fine. It's only happen one time this past Summer.

Someone on here a while back had an issue with the driver seat making pin holes in the wiring harnest which was causing their issue. I know I had my driver seat set all the way back & down. I adjusted my driver seat a hair up and set it in my memory position, so I'm thinking that might have been issue with my camera not working all of the time as well. Just a thought!

I drive a 2010 and occasionally at night, my camera goes all "purple lighting" on me. Does anyone else get this? And also know what may be causing it do be purple on screen?

This happened to me over the weekend. Seems to be fine now. 2011 scab NAV with LockPick and front camera.

Sounds like the camera could have a bad connection, or the module for the camera, check the connections, I have a 2011, lock-pic, aftermarket front and rear, and my problem was connections. joker and myself have the same front set up.

Thanks I'll have a buddy of mine take a look at it.

after 4 visits for the same thing and still not corrected, you can now go to arbitration.

My camera stopped working this morning. I also adjusted the seat and it started working. Strange. I wiggled around the wires under there and it did not make any interference so something is going on where the seat is hitting one of the connectors. Just don't know which one but the camera is working for now...
