Replacing a side mirror with camera on 2024 Ford Lightning Flash Trim

[samster]

I’m trying to replace a cosmetically damaged side mirror on my Ford F150 Lightning Flash Trim. I bought a used mirror off of eBay. Everything seems to fit in nicely except the cameras lose functionality when I plug in the new one. Attached a photo of that here. Is the fix as simple as copying the codes that my old side mirror displays on forscan and making sure those same codes for IPMA on forscan are there for the new mirror?

Can you swap the old camera with the new one?

I'm not sure changing the mirror out affected any codes already in the IPMA that you could change back. If you don't get an answer here check the 14th gen forum, lots more trucks and thus broken mirrors over there .

Could be you need to run a calibration routine either in FORScan or FDRS.

Yes, if your damaged mirror’s camera was still okay and worked properly, take apart both mirrors and swap original camera into replacement eBay mirror.
However, your photo shows multiple cameras not working. Maybe more is going on with your situation?

I think the camera in a replacement mirror can have that effect on the front and both side cameras. The XLT Power Folding Mirror thread has similar posts that were resolved by swapping over the old camera.

Thanks guys! Yes plugging in the faulty camera seems to stop all of the front and side cameras from showing. I’ll give the camera replacement a try, was hoping that something on forscan would activate the new camera but doesn’t seem so.

Did you try running the camera calibration procedure in FORScan?

Thank you for the link! Looks like the cameras off of the 21-23 models won’t work with the 24 model. I did try the calibration procedure but get the error message that “vehicle conditions are incorrect”

Yeah the 24 is a different part number completely.. They use the super duty cams all you have to do is swap that tray the camera is mounted in.. that way you dont lose your calibration.

Installing a wrong camera or if one of the cameras is bad it will cause all three of the front cams to go off line. Calibration wont run unless all the cams are displaying

You may have already if you connected the other camera..

I installed power fold on my Flash and used the cams from the original mirrors to avoid all the mess

Thanks Jesse! I did plug in the camera that wasn’t compatible but when I plugged in the old one (still on the damaged mirror casing) it seemed to work again. Hopefully just switching out the cameras will avoid the headache? Or are you saying that this will still require calibration?

If you dont have a 1578 DTC in the IPMA then you are fine.

The calibration is triggered by a serial number change. Serial number is triggered when the camera is changed.

Possibly you didnt have it triggered.
