Backup Camera
I have a 2013 F350 Lariat. Recently, the backup camera has stopped working about 1/3rd of the time. When it doesn't work, a yellow triangle icon appears on the screen with " Camera unavailable. See dealer." The dealer has checked it, twice, and is unable to locate the problem. Any similar experiences? Thoughts? Thanks.

I'm finding I need to wipe off the rear cam every time I park the truck. Even then it only works half the time due to being covered with snow or dust.

Hi Crystal Thank you for your interest. the truck is a 2013 f350 platinum 31,000 miles. i have had the backup camera goes out intermittently this has been a problem going back September 2015. had it in to the dealer told me it needed a backup camera which they replaced in warranty left the dealer ship with in 4 hours camera was out called the dealer said everyone was gone till Monday. i tried to pin down when it will do it no rime or reason had it back 7 other times same story say they can't replicate the problem. i have taken it in when it was doing it i have pictures now the truck is out of warranty dealer wants me to pay for diagnostic they couldn't fix it when they had it why would i pay more money to not have it fixed. some may say its just a backup camera but at 69,000 $ for a truck everything should work. not to mention the hole that rotted through the side of the bed that they cut a piece out of and glued in a new piece. i have pictures of all this if you would like to see. sorry for being so long winded everyone. thank you
