Trailer Camera Doesn't Work

After spending the day yesterday placing the camera and wiring through our Elite Suite 5th wheel, it does not work. I place the tranny in reverse to activate the cameras. All the views work correctly except the AUX view. When I choose that one I get the blue screen as though nothing is connected. Has anyone else had this issue? If so how did you isolate where the problem was?

I would start with verifying the connection to the plug that you installed in the bumper. Make sure it is orientated correctly and fully seated.

That blue screen shows a camera symbol with a line through it. I would say that is a firm indication that it is not picking up the camera but it sees the harness pluggued in at the bumper. I suspect the last of the connections is your issue but here are the (3) connections to check.

The first one is where you changed the female plugs through the rear bumper. (My truck's harness left no slack and barely made it.)

The second is is the actual connection where you plug into the bumper each time

The last is the connection of the harness to the camera itself.

The first and last connections should "click" when fully seated. The second uses the flip door protector to lock it in place.

let us know what you find out. It could always be a defective camera.
