Blue Screen instead of Camera View

[Peddyr]

I’ve noticed the past few days that when I back up or I’m pulling into my garage, the camera doesn’t work and I get a solid blue screen. Now I suspect it could have something to do with the fact it’s been snowing when it happens, but I never had this issue with my 2018 F-150. Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks

The blue screen means you either have a bad camera or a bad connection.

You could try disconnecting the tailgate, making sure water isn't getting into it and plugging it back in. Otherwise I would make an appointment for your dealer to fix it.

We had this problem. Dealer said it was a programming issue and they were waiting for an update from Ford. But the problem seems to have disappeared with the latest ford pass update. We had both a solid blue screen but more often it was a trapezoidal blue area where the front camera view should have been.

I've had this happen as well. After a night in the garage, it seemed to work fine this morning so I think @Pioneer74 is on to something. Weather is supposed to be dry the next 2 or 3 days so if the problem doesn't reoccur, I'll know how to attack this. Thanks for the feedback.

Had an appointment at the dealership set for this past Saturday (when it was -13 incidentally). On Thursday night was pushed the latest software update (4.1.3) and poof....the camera's all work fine now. They not only work, but the image is MUCH clearer. Was happy to cancel my appointment Saturday morning so I didn't have to move the truck or freeze my ass off. Fine yesterday and today as well so seems as if they issue is resolved.
