Seeking Guidance on Rear Camera Wiring Installation

[Deleted member 380243]

Did anyone install a backup camera in their Ford Explorer PIU? I initially thought mine came with a camera, as I saw a blue screen in the rearview 'MIRROR' , but it had been removed. Now, could someone please tell me which plug or wires on the liftgate are associated with the backup camera?
Thank you!!

I've watched all your videos and I'm a fan!
I had seen this particular video before, but I had forgotten some of the details - thank you so much Richey. If I have any questions I will let you know.

This video is great and very easy to understand, but I have a factory camera, not an aftermarket one. I'm almost ready to proceed, but I still need to locate the wires. Thanks, Richey!

Can someone please help?
Which wires or plugs should I use? And the reverse camera I have has a spray washer.

Fortunately, the worst is over!!

I beleive the wiring is not present for the camera if it was not equipped from factory. You would have to get all the wring from a donor vehicle all the way from the camera to the BCM.

Ok, but my rearview mirror has a display screen.

ok I believe, I'm on the right way, I see the harness that comes with a camera and my harness are same part number, but I haven't found the plug yet.

And I have a question, does matter the colour of the barcode part number?

I would have to check, but I think the camera is in the same loom as the license plate lights isn't it?

Yes, it is. all are in one plug.

As the thread starter, you can remove the "How To" by clicking on

A more proper way to title the thread would be;

Thank you so much, guys! I tried to learn this before, but I found it a bit challenging.

I was posting in the wrong thread all this time, and nobody could inform me. Oh well, I shouldn't have expected so much.

Thank you again for your help now!
