I'm New - Rear Camera Issue

[Mastin]

Hi All,
New member here. Recently purchased a Explorer and so far loving it. I did buy it with a known fault which I am hoping someone can help with?
The reverse camera does not work. Is there reset or a way of finding out what the issue is?
Many Thanks!

Welcome to this forum! Did you check the fuse?

Welcome to the Forum.
I'm not aware of any reset specifically for the camera. What is the issue? A blank screen when going into reverse? Do you get any sort of display?
If it is a fuse issue, then the following would also not be working;

You could try a Master Reset which will also return most things back to factory defaults. A negative battery cable disconnect for 10 minutes or so will do much the same thing. Given the age of it, it could possibly just be dead.

Since you haven't indicated which trim you have, I checked for a Limited but I don't think it matters.
In any case, a new camera has to be programmed to the vehicle in which it is installed.
Here is another possibility; Corroded back up camera harness

Yes



See how useless a post can be without DETAILS? Edit everything you know about yours into your signature so it always shows with every post - that way, you don't have to remember to do it each time. Then edit your first post with all the details & history of this symptom that you know: when it began, if it was sudden or progressive, and what exactly you mean by "does not work". Is the picture foggy? Grainy? Black? White? Scrambled? Details are good - a few pictures or video might be even better.

Remember that we only know what you tell us about the situation & vehicle, and you didn't tell us much.
