Intermittent Rear Bed Camera

[FlatcoatFarm]

About 25% of the time when I select the rear bed camera icon, I get one of the following:

- a blue screen;
- a gray screen; or
- a psychedelic splotchy/wavy screen of colors

All other camera angles work fine.

Has anyone else had this occur? It seems to me as if a connector is loose somewhere in the system.

I had my truck at the dealership (which is generally excellent) for its 30k service, and, of course, they could not repeat the issue. They said that there were no recorded faults in the system, and nothing that they could do at this time.

Was hoping someone else might have had this failure before, and had it diagnosed and fixed. And then I could pass the info on to my dealership.

Thanks for any insights.

I'd take a video when it happens. They should at least check the connectors before dismissing you.

My rear camera was working fine and then It went to the dealer for a repair and updates and recalls. They replaced the rear lightbar (recall) and that same behavior started happening. The day I was taking it in for a replacement it was working fine so I knew it wouldn’t be worth it as they will say it’s working. Later the same behavior occurred again and this time I recorded it. Have not had a chance to get back to the dealer to try and replace it.
Seems it’s related to the recall replacement. Fixed one issue and created another.

related to the recall replacement. Fixed one issue and created another.

The op is discussing the rear bed camera and not the backup camera.

There have been some heat related failures and some bad camera units. Wiring and connectors is also a possibility.

To the op, was it hot hot out?

My rear bed camera does the exact same thing. It happen again today and the weather here was mild at best upper 70s no reason for it not to work.

Yup. Occasionally happens to me too (had my passenger take this photo). You're welcome to "borrow" this photo if you have a Pro/XLT to show the dealer. Been meaning to go myself but haven't had the time.
