Rearview Camera
I'm having intermittent problems with display on my 2011 FX4,when going into reverse screen goes blue, like it's lost a connection.
Anybody else having issues?
Truck is at dealer right know, they have worked on another with same problem and sounds like they are changing out parts trying to get lucky.

Yes I did check, actually had my wife sit in truck and watch monitor while playing with wire. The dealership told me they replaced that harness on another truck like mine, the guy was back in a week with same problem.

Had the same issue with my '11 6.7.
Never did it on a key start, did it 75% of the time on remote start.
Dealer "could not duplicate".
It would blue screen, sometimes it would blue screen then go black and white.
Was still doing it when I traded.

It's likely a bad connection due to some corrosion, someplace in the wiring harness. The dealership likely took the easy way out and assumed that it was in the harness closest to the camera. But if you're willing and able to chase the wires from start to finish, you will likely find a corrosion issue (bad contact) in one of the connectors along the wiring. I know it's not what you want to hear, but when I was chasing an intermittent issue with reverse sensors on my last truck. I found a bad connection in the harness up near the transmission.
FWIW, dealers often wont investigate very carefully on some intermittent issues. They know that we aren't going to be happy about paying for 2 hours labor for something they didn't end up figuring out.
Personally, I wish that Ford gave us the option to disable the camera and many other features, all together.
Hope you resolve your issue.
