Default DTC Code B1496 - Trailer Backup Assist Input Sensor

I have a 2016 F150 with pro trailer backup assist. It is not working so I did a Forscan on it. Came up code B1496 - Trailer Backup Assist Input Sensor. I checked Ford DTC code and found "B1496 Decklid Punch-Out Sensor Open Circuit". Does anybody know where is the Punch-Out Sensor"?

Thanks in advance!

It's not a punch-out sensor, it's a sensor located in the deck lid punch-out. The deck lid is your tailgate. The punch-out is the part that is punched out so that a handle can be installed. The handle assembly can include a rear view camera and an LED lamp. The camera circuit appears to be your issue.

Thanks a lot! I will check out the camera circuit.
