Hey, my backup camera has decided to act up. The display on my screen looks like an old tv out of adjustment on the "horiz adjust" ****. The picture is moved up so that the bottom of the view in centered on the screen, it flashes and flickers. I can see what's behind me, so there is signal, it's just going bananas.


Anyone here ever troubleshoot one of these things?

 

I had to have mine replaced because oof it being so blurry you couldn't make anything out that was behind you. Ford does have a new camera of a better design to stop it from getting water in it. I have the new one as I had to wait a month for them to become available. You have to break the tailgate Ford emblem to get to the camera. The emblem has to be replaced when they are messed with..

 

I'd just take it in Joel...you know, in your free time. It sounds like the camera just took a crap on you.

 

I would inspect and possibly clean the connector at the tailgate first.

 

Thanks y'all. Easy to make a decision when info is provided.

 

Monty, since he has a 2015 he should have the updated camera...

I would check connections too, sounds like it isn't getting a good connection. And if it didn't fix it, bring it in.

 

Sounds like a reason to order a 2017.

"I wanted to keep the truck but the backup camera wore out, the only positive/certain way to fix it was to trade the beast in".

Or you could need an oil change. You get new oil with the new truck.

 

From what they told me was that all until Feb of this year has the same camera. That's why it took over a month to get me one as they recalled all of the ones on the shelves and waited for the new ones to be delivered. Who knows? I do like my new one better than either of my last ones. MUCH clearer.

 

Wow, so another camera update.... Who knew....

My 2015 camera picture is clearer than the 2011 I had... i got my 2015 in August 2014.

Now if I could get the lines to turn with my 2015 I'd be really happy!

 

You're hilarious

 

Years ago on the farm, my Grandpa smoked.

A few times he was asked when he was getting a new car, his reply was when the ash tray was full.

About a week later he'd be in a new car.

 

Very funny.....

It is tempting. My truck has 94k on it right now and I've never had to get anything repaired. It's the first 6.7 that has held the radiator and water pump beyond 50k for me!

Also, the interior color, long bed, 3.55 plus the fifth wheel/GN built in makes this truck the most enjoyable one I've had and I kind of think I may run it a few years.

But, I could order a new 17 truck, and buy my current one from our business and keep it for myself. This is what keeps me up at night, lol....

 

Just remember the 17 will have 7 cameras Wait till all of those go bad

 

The three members of FTE that need to own a 2017 are Joel, Epic, and Big-Sarge. The videos, tips, and their participation back in 2011/2012 was very helpful to me. Few members here didn't lean on these guys for help at some point.

In the Diffusion of innovations, they are the FTE Innovators and we need them to Innovate again with the 2017 model.
