Normally the backup camera is super clear. Noticed yesterday it was hazy so cleaned it off when I got home. This morning, still hazy so I looked closer and there is a very fine layer of condensation inside the lens. Truck is garage kept and it wasn't raining yesterday. Happened immediately, clear to hazy. Is there any easy way to remove the moisture? Do I need to replace the camera?

I’m the same. It just happened a week ago. It started with the camera going blue screen, then saying it was was “unavailable” on a black screen. Two days later it came back to life completely unusable with water and condensation in the lens. No idea what caused it or what changed.

Yep. Warranty it. That condensation inside the camera will eventually foul the entire thing. Moisture can get in easily enough but takes a lot longer to get out. Better to do it now before the moisture goes away. It’s never there when you need to prove to the dealer that it’s happening. :LOL:
