Backup camera blacking out intermittently? Anyone else?

I need to get to the dealer to show/report this but almost every time I back up to a trailer or back into my garage, my screen will black out. 1/2 to 1 second and sometimes at the most inopportune time like 3 inches from the ball.

I have tried to figure out exactly what causes this, first I thought it was right when the reverse bumper sensors started beeping, sometimes when I gas it a little, sometimes when I apply the brake… can’t nail it to one thing.

I just thought if I go to the dealer and can report it is happening to others it might be a system wide issue and not just mine.

Thanks for replies if it’s happening to you.

I brack up to within 4" of my garage door and never blacked out.

Oddly when I put truck in 4x4 high and driving around a muddy area the backup camera was on. Not sure if that is a feature or mistake.

I have issues with truck locking and unlocking of all things.

I've had mine for a little over 2 months, no problem on the camera, then backing up and the screen goes blank (no input at all), put it in drive and then reverse and it came back on.

My screen just blacked out on me this morning when I got to work. Tried putting in drive then reverse several times to no avail. Also turned the truck off and on a couple times, still didn't work. Im hoping later today it will come back on. If it lingers too long, going to the dealer to have the figure it out.
