Is anyone having issues with 2019 back up camera? Mine goes blank from time to time. Any recalls or service bulletins??

 

Check your plug under the tailgate. Pop open the cable connection and make sure the contacts are nice and clean.

 

Thanks, I will check it out.

 

My 16 at about 18 months old.. my camera started acting up. First was blurry and then even upside down and eventually all black with an error message.

I traced it down to the plastic wire scrunchy conduit stuff right behind the rear bumper...it wore a hole thru the wire!! The exact stuff to protect wires..literally cut a wire..once I cleaned it up Its been great ever since.

 

I would swear that I read recently that Ford was aware of the issue and was in the process of looking for a fix or issuing a TSB or recall. But, I'll be danged if I can find where I came across this article.

 

My 2020 has a recall. I haven't had an issue but it's sitting in my inbox in Ford Pass. If I ever have an issue or need to go to the Dealer, I will have it done.

 

I had the recall done earlier this month. Unfortunately the view out of the replacement is worse than the original.

 

Finally took my 2019 F-150 in for the Recall on valve train chatter ( 21B10). Also had them check my back up camera issue. Turns out there is a TSB #21-2411. Description says they " REPROGRAMMED APIM USING FLASH DRIVE". So far no back up camera issues but will wait and see.

 

There have been some backup camera problems enough that the assistant service manager thought I was scheduled for a camera replacement when I had to reschedule the diagnostic appointment. My camera had a decent picture but lost the backup warning lines and ability to close-up. Not sure what they did, working now.

 

Non truck fords 2: an Edge and Explore developed lines then n/a picture. Both incidents cameras were replaced under warranty. New cameras require programing after installation, you can do this via Forscan also. Years ago no issue since then.
