Rear view camera - random problem
I picked up my new truck last Friday, and already the rear view camera is having a problem.
Sometimes it comes on, and is all fuzzy and black and white.
Other times, it comes up solid blue, then the display goes off.
Guess I'll be making my first trip to the dealer.....but it wont be the selling dealer, as they are about 70 minutes away.
Anyone else had this issue? I did a quick search, and nothing came up.

I've had mine about six weeks now, and have experienced the same exact thing. In addition, I've had times where it wouldnt shut off when going from reverse to drive -- it would stay on until I shifted into park.
I'm not too concerned about it, so I'll just wait until I need to be at the dealership for something else...

I would take the cover off the tailgate and check for a loose ground. If I didn't want to take it to the dealer.

The wiring to the camera video is a coax cable. Right before the plug that allows you to disconnect the tailgate the coax is spliced back to regular wires that go into the connector. You could have an intermittent connection there. If the video signal is weak the display will remain blue until it times out then goes blank. If a video signal is strong enough, the camera stays on after shifting into drive until you reach a minimum speed. I can back out of my drive way, pull up to my mail box, read a letter, and the camera will stay on until I leave the mail box.
I removed my tailgate and connected a camera to the harness that was in a license plate holder.
that's how I got so familiar with the functionality.

Did your license plate camera plug into the harness or did you do a splice. I've been wanting to add a camera on the back of my trailer for when I back into dark spots when days get shorter.
