Rear View Camera went out...

[Labswine]

So, yesterday it was working perfectly. Today, nothing. It didn't work at all when putting into reverse, and even trying to invoke it using the 'Off Road Pages' function. It did work for about ten seconds trying it in reverse, then nothing.

Guessing I need to replace the camera?

How easy (or difficult) is it to do by one's lonesome, or should I take it to the stealership

Mine did the same thing and then 2 days later it came back on and has been fine for the past 6 months

And...today it's back working just fine. Next time it goes out, prolly replace it.

Before you replace the camera I’d check the tailgate harness and connections. The wiring where it passes into the tailgate is a common failure point and can act exactly like that, works one day then nothing.
Camera swap itself isn’t terrible if you’re comfortable pulling the tailgate panel, but I’d rule out wiring first. If it’s still under warranty I’d let the dealer deal with it.

Don't assume it's the camera and just throw parts at it. Check your connections first, yours seems intermittent which is likely a loose connection, not the camera.
