Backup Camera/Radio Issues

[SaiintNick]

So I have unmarried and removed the Tazer. Also did a factory reset on the UConnect. Woke up this morning and still a black screen on first stop of errands. On the next two it works. So it's not the Tazer. I did bypass the aux battery about a year ago because I was getting all these funky issues with the camera, radio and even a service transmission warning. Only thing that lingers is the backup camera not only being a black screen intermittently, but also way worse quality than the front. Does anyone think this could be a main battery issue even though it's 13.8 volts up to 14.2?

You need to check the voltage with the engine off. A fully charged battery should read 12.8 volts. Anything below 12.4 is not good. The reading you're getting shows that it is trying to charge the battery.

Since you have front and rear cameras, there is a video box that connects them to the head unit. Poor quality on only one camera would indicate a problem with the camera or cable, or with the video box.

When the head unit is reset, it can take up to 24 hours to fully recover. In your case, it's either going to be a dealer visit, or replace the rear camera and see if it fixes the problem.

And the odd part is the camera quality in the rear is heat related. If it's cool it clearer. Like in the morning it's totally different than late afternoon.

It goes in Monday for the camera. It hasn't worked at all in 2 days. Not even once. Went from 80% working to 0% since being at dealership which I'm sure thats just a coincidence. To me, something in the hardware has died.
