I wonder if the water already caused enough damage that it just degraded quickly.

i installed one on my old F250, and it was an outside parked truck, never had an issue to the day i traded the truck for a Harley! had it on there for quite a while.... maybe a year(ish)!
i still have one on the shelf. i bought 2, one for the F250, one for the Excursion, installed the one on the F250 but didn't on the Ex cause i "though" i was going to sell the truck, but still have it...... so i guess i need to go ahead and install it, lol!

So I remember taking all of the automotive parts out of my office, because they weren't office related, and put them in boxes and then...
No idea where they are, I haven't had a yard sale so I know they are still here, but where?
When I bought two I had the X and my Suburban, but the Sub is gone now so I should only need one. I'm not going to put the other back up camera in the Smart car or my Eldo. Does this mean that when I find them I'm going to sell the extra? Kind of stupid not to...
Wish me luck, but no searching on the holiday weekend.

So, since the last chapter was published I lost both of them again. And moved. And over seven years later I have found them again. And this time the Mighty X is going to get a back up camera. Hopefully one of them still works. I've driven so many rental cars with back up cameras that it almost seems odd to not have that. I now have the entire kit sitting in the garage sink so I can't lose it again. The saga continues...
