Reverse camera intermittently not working

[cab777]

Twice this week I've put my car (4BW, 6MT) into reverse and the backup camera didn't come on. It seemed to have fixed itself after the first time and was normal, but then it happened again this morning (pic attached of the error it is showing). It's been very cold here, the first time was after there was some ice on the car, so no idea if that's related, but was curious if anyone else had ever had a similar issue?

Never seen that before, sorry...

Only back up when it’s working, problem solved!

I would first try either pulling and re-seating the fuse for the camera or do a battery disconnect to reset everything. If that doesn't work, the camera might need to be replaced. I saw a couple of posts last year about rearview mirror cameras having this problem and replacement solved the issue. It was attributed to a bad seal around the camera housing. Might be the same issue for your backup camera.

Thanks, really appreciate it!
