Why has my reverse camera stopped showing a picture?

When I put the car in reverse, the dash display shows the electronic grid, but is no longer showing a picture of the back of the car and what is behind the car.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi Bill, I had the same problem, and after a month the grid also did not apear anymore, It is caused by moised in the camera , (and a fuse ) The solution is a new camera, however not the Original camera (this costs 250 dollar) you can order a camera at WISH €11,- and solder it on the connector wich came from your old camera.

I made pictures of the wirring so if you need futher instructions let me know

Usually, it’s moisture that got into the camera sensor. You can try pulling it off the car, taking it apart, drying it out with a hair dryer or similar device (heat gun, air dry, etc.).

I had this problem and wasn’t able to fix mine, so I purchased a replacement at rockauto.com
