[grsthegreat]

Well, i went and studied online geniuses about fixing it myself. Tried disconnecting battery and reboot. Not

Tried hard reset of sync3 system. Not

Tried thru forscan to rescan and reset backup camera. Not

The last thing a few people said was give the camera a good thump


It works again. You gots to love low tech.

Im going to open access panel in tailgate and clean and seal the connector.

I have a 2017 F150, brother in law has a 2018. Both of us have malfunctioning backup cameras. Mine will freeze sometimes, sometimes show a frozen picture from 5 minutes before, sometimes a bunch of vertical colored lines. I dented my original tailgate and replaced it with a used one. So a different camera, no change, same as before and after. My brother in law had dealer look at his and they said some kind of module needs replaced, expensive of course. He passed. I’ve cleaned all the connectors on mine. No change. Mine malfunctions about 25% of the time.

Funny thing is, ive had this truck for about a year, and it has ALWAYS worked. It only failed yesterday while servicing generators. That got me looking online and finding out about the recall.

But its up and running again. Funny how you get to rely on the stupid thing. I drove for 50 years without a backup camera.

I'm thinking it is covered by a longer warranty, being that out is a safety feature that has become worse than inoperative, as it might fool you into thinking the cost is clear behind you, when a kid has wandered into your path.
Maybe mention lawsuit to the dealer. . .
