Thanks for the reply Gordy. What would be the correct way to clear the error inside forscan to see if it comes back. All lights are working properly. What would I need to do to get the backup lines then?
I have the same set up...2016 F150 XL.....does a plug fit into the circled blue fitting..with wires?...or do the wires fit into that plug? Thank you in advance.ken
Originally I installed the RCA cable as pictured but I didn't keep it very long. Decided I would remove it and just run the cable uninterrupted all the way to the back.
Edit to answer your second question: yes, after a quick Forscan mod to "tell" your system that there is a camera installed you should be good to go. (Except for a power source to the camera of course.)

then after activating on FORScan my little 4.2 screen will work with my backup camera ?
So after some more investigation I found that the bundle of wires from the C316 under hood harness splits off to several smaller harnesses at the back. The two white/green and brown/violet wires are found in a separate connector (shown in blue below) that has a protective cap on it (the same one found in your glove box for protecting the camera harness during tailgate removal). The two wires for the power tailgate lock splits off into another harness (shown in pink) that goes to the gate.
So I am not sure if I am pre-wired or not but it seems I could just tap into the blue harness for the camera connection assuming that I am tracing the right wires in the first place! This is a '15 XL with 4.2" non nav display FWIW.
GTRTESTDRIVER were you able to make this work? I have the same setup on my XL. I don't want to run wires from the front if I don't have to.
have the same setup on my XL. Does anyone know what the gray plug is for or what number it is? I don't want to run the wires from the front if I don't have to. I am trying to verify if it has the right wires running to it.
