Hopped in my truck this morning and was surprised that my backup camera wasn't working.
Got a message that said "No signal detected from rear camera" and before you ask, I still have my tailgate, LOL

Any ideas?

Do you still have your tailgate?

Around here, seems like it's either unplugged in the dash or the camera goes out.

Check the tailgate connection, might have gotten water in it and got corroded.

Will do.
Oddly enough, my sons 2013 has done the same thing.

Taking mine in for (extended) warranty work on Monday.

Camera
Drivers power running board
Seat cooling/heating not coming on with remote start

Just an update.
Dealer replaced backup camera under warranty
Same with drivers running board
Cooled/heated seats are working fine. Apparently I was mistaken as to how they work. They do come on with remote start however the dash light indicator doesn't light to indicate that they are on. Once you turn the key then everything resets and you have to turn them on again manually.

Funny I come across this post...I just experienced my back up camera go haywire yesterday.

Got in, placed into reverse and the screen was all fuzzy, blackish with squiggly back up lines. I have the factory nav screen.

Today its fine????

Any ideas?

Have no idea on that one, mine went from working to nothing but a black screen

My camera has been screwy the past month or so as well.

10% of the time it will work fine.
40% of the time it works, but the image is reversed
25% of the time it will flicker on/off in 3-4 second intervals
25% of the time it doesn't work at all


The camera is triggered/controlled by the BCM via LIN bus. The guidelines, zoom, and on/off control are all internal to the IC in the camera itself.

I started to sniff the LIN bus to read the commands sent to the camera by the BCM. This way I can connect the camera to my PC and control it directly to troubleshoot the problem. If I get it figured out, it should also cure the disappearing guidelines some people are having.

My screen (rear view mirror kind) showed a blue screen one day with no signs of failing before that. I bought my 2011 used with extended warranty. Dealer replaced entire Ford emblem since it's basically the camera housing.
