Dylan2012edge Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hey how’s it going. I have a 2012 Ford Edge sel. It’s the 3.5 v6 and awd. I’ve been having troubles with the backup camera and I’m curious if anyone had a solution for it. Basically the camera will not work for like a week and I’ll get an error message when In reverse. Then the next week it works fine. But for the past 4 months it hasn’t worked once. I’m curious if the camera is just bad or if there’s a fix I can do for it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 I'd suspect either a defective camera or corrosion on the connector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan2012edge Posted December 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 @enigma-2 so if the connector is corroded obviously I would need a new one but is it plug and play or id have to splice a new connector in. And thank u for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Not necessarily. Just use an electronic contact cleaner on it. This what I've used with good success. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BXOGNI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_Y8s7FbAKJ72B4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PageDeb13 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 I have a 2011 Edge and my camera has done the same thing. Hasn't worked for about 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PageDeb13 Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 I don't know if my camera not working is related however now while I am driving my main menu screen switches from the main menu to my radio sound settings. I have tried putting it on random screens to see if there is any connection and there is not. Doesn't matter which screen I am on. It also makes the tone as if I had actually pushed the on screen button to switch to the sound settings. I read on another site that the camera issue might be linked to the same module.

PageDeb13 Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Where would I find the connector for the camera to check for corrosion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
