Rear Camera advice..

[legendary70]

Hello all.

When I put truck in reverse the camera view is in the rear view mirror. lately for some reason it looks blurry and like with static. Sometime is comes back and looks normal. could it be the wire hat runs from the mirror to the circle looking thing behind the mirror on the windshield? any advice would be great. thx

Problem is probably in the electrical connection to the camera. To check it, turn the key to run but don't start the car. Put the car in reverse. Go behind the car, and bang on the area where the camera is. If it goes back and forth with/without static, the problem is there.

My 2016 went to static after driving on dusty roads. There is a thread on here about the fix. You have to take apart the tailgate liners to access the camera. Disconnect the electric connection. Cover it in some sort of silicone. Reconnect. Check the thread for specifics. I did it a year or so ago and have not had a problem since.

Thread link below. You will see that I posted that blowing air would clear it up, but that only worked for a while. The silicone cured it.

Reverse camera distortion

Good evening everyone. A strange problem cropped up with the reverse camera in my 2017 EL. When I shift into reverse, the picture is now badly distorted. I am unsure what may have caused the problem. Has anyone ever seen this issue?
