Hello, I'm Travis. I just bought a 2004 Explorer XLT with the 4.0 and I prefer to do my own car work (chorus: hi Travis) I'v come a cross a few issues with my Explorer and found solutions here so I though I'd go ahead and join, maybe I can help someone else down the line

I was informed by the Ford dealership that my backup camera is bad, so instead of paying them $850 to replace it, I decided to replace it myself. I ordered a new camera and swapped it out myself but the view inside is upside down. Anyone have a fix to change the view to the correct way

Welcome to this forum! It sounds like you installed the camera upside down.

No, it only goes in one way. It plugs in to the camera from the driver side and the camera faces the passenger side

Check to see if there is a menu with settings or a configuration set up.

It's only 50.00 labor to replace the camera. 800 to get the image flipped.

Sorry, I had to.

I don't know how the camera is assembled but something tells me something is upside down, like maybe the camera itself can come out of it's housing and be flipped? Maybe the CCD was assembled wrong on the circuit board? I cannot imagine a need to flip the image if there was camera in there before. Did it ever work correctly? this is kinda--weird.
