back up cam

2017 crew cab lariat. I get a error code on my display when I shift to reverse that says "camera unavailable". I checked the harness and its connected. Thoughts? any TSB's?

Thanks

I would pull the tailgate connectors apart and check/clean for corrosion. Treat with a small amount of dielectric grease (bulb grease) There's a bunch of connectors near the spare tire and bumper that collect moisture and do weird stuff at about 4 years, so with a 17 you are about due. Costs nothing to try. Might fix it.

And, sometimes, the cameras do fail.
