sblasl Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Hi Folks, Just purchased a 2011 Edge Sport. When the backup camera engages, the video on the screen is upside down (inverted). Every thing else is displayed correctly. Anyone have any thoughts on what is going on here and is there anything that I can do to resolve this without taking it to the Ford dealership? Thanks Edited June 10, 2019 by sblasl Add photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Take it back to who you bought it from....they may have repainted the tailgate and some how installed it upside down..... thats just a shot in the dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 The camera is probably on its way out. Changing it is the only long run solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omar302 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 That's what I remember. The only issue that might be fixable on a rear camera on the Edge was the disappearing guide lines, for which a calibration of the module would be required by a dealer or using ForScan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblasl Posted June 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Is it possible to unscrew the housing, I think there are 2 screws and flip the module? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 As far as I know, the camera only goes in one way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 It may have been replaced with a non-ford (non-oem) camera. This has been a reported issue with 3rd party replacement cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
factor99 Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 My 2011 has done that about once a year since new. II is the right way around when I restart the vehicle. I consider it due to flaky Ford engineering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefduane Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Has anyone found a source for a camera that works that is not the $350 Ford OEM camera? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The exact same thing happened on my 2011 MKX and unfortunately the only solution was to bring it to the dealer to have the camera replaced... Claude.
