Does the Ford emblem/camera just pop off the tailgate with a screw driver? Pry from top or bottom? I'm trying not to break anything here. I removed the tailgate panel inside and can't get any access there.

Both the camera and reverse sensors have quit working. I'm troubleshooting both but I'm not sure they are related. The camera died first but worked sometimes after slamming the tailgate. Sensors quit sometime after. Don't really care about the sensors but the camera is essential for hooking up the trailers. I was hoping the wiring from the tailgate to the plug would be cut but that doesn't appear to be the case. I'd like to check the camera itself next. Ohm it out or something, I don't know.

 

Found the answer to my first question, hopefully I find something obvious.

Check power and grounds maybe a plug is loose.

 

From the camera to the plug appears fine, will break out the ohm meter tomorrow and check for power and ground at the plug.

 

Got close to 12v between the grey and black/green wires where the cam plugs in so it is getting power.

Still don't know if it is the camera or the video feed wiring. Ideas? The screen is black.
