Rear Camera Screen is Blue...
When backing into my parking spot at work this morning, my screen was blue and the camera wasn't working. I can only assume that somewhere a connection is loose. I just went outside with my phone to take a picture of the blue screen and it worked just fine. Can anyone tell me where the connections are for the rear camera? We did have a pretty violent thunderstorm last night, which is the only thing I can think of being out of the ordinary. However, I don't see how that could do much since the truck was parked, and things probably get more wet when I use the power washer.
Thoughts?

360 camera or not?
On the 360, when I disconnect the camera (remove tailgate for a truck camper), the display is black where the camera would show (ie camera gathering no light). The rest of the 360 view still shows its images. Never saw a blue screen when disconnecting camera.
Also, it sets a DTC when the camera is disconnected. No indicator light, but you can pull it with a OBDII reader/FORSCAN. That would be the first place I'd check - see if any codes were set.
If no other indications, pull the connectors apart (aft of spare tire, drivers side of centerline) and make sure they are dry and add some dielectric grease to the big electrical connector.

Not the one that causes the intermittent cruise control and other warnings. Good to clean both while you're under there, though. This one is a little smaller. You can follow the cable from where it comes through the tailgate and hole in the bed in the tailgate gap on drivers side of centerline. The notorious one is in the same area, but on the passenger side of centerline.

Do you have an auxiliary camera option? Mine shows a blue screen since nothing's installed there yet and I think it'll stay on aux until I change it back. Though it does have 360 and Ultimate Tow. I've only had it a week, so not as well versed in every single option/feature, but throwing it out there in case you do

Had the blue screen when reversing into a spot today. While running I opened and closed the tailgate and that didn't fix the issue. I turned off the truck and restarted and everything was normal. Weird.
