Reverse camera issues

[slowpoke58]

Aloha. When I put truck into reverse, the back up camera screen sometimes goes gray with lines across screen, and then some times it works.

anyone seen, know about, or have recommendation for a solution?

I’d recommend using your mirrors.. haha sorry had to do it.

It would need to be diagnosed. Most likely a faulty camera, but could also be a camera switching module or circuit issue.

Welcome to the place, where in HAWAII are you? Got any pics of your truck?

Mine failed. The camera assembly costs $478.77, the Ford emblem costs $42.44 (the camera cannot be R&R'd without destroying the emblem), and the labor as charged by my local Ford dealership was $240. Total: $761.21

What year is your truck?

This is the camera that I got off Amazon.. I first replaced the harness which didn't correct the issue and then I bought this camera and it worked like a charm! I ended up buying the wrong replacement emblem so it didn't snap back in so I just glued it in place.. Guess I could have ordered the correct one from Ford as the fella mentioned above.. My total cost was about $150 as opposed to what he paid at the dealer.

Hey nd3, How did this camera work compared to oem? I replaced mine with one from the camera source and it was clearly NOT as good as the original. It isnt as clear or bright, and it doesn't stay on when you shift out of reverse like the OEM one did. It does work and was plug and play, but clearly not on the same level. I think I even paid more than the Amazon camera too.

Dude, mine worked just like stock. None of the issues that you just described.

Good to know. I had to replace the emblem with the newer style so it should just be a camera swap and I saved the stock wiring harness. So someday when I've had enough of it, I'll pick one up. Thanks for the link
