How to Deal with No Signal Display on Reversing Camera?
2 Answers
There are several methods to handle the no signal display on the reversing camera: 1. If the multimedia device on the central control screen does not light up, and basic functions like music playback and radio are unavailable, the central control screen itself might be damaged. Try restarting it. 2. Some reversing cameras are exposed at the rear of the car and may suffer from aging or short circuits due to rain and sun exposure. 3. There might be poor contact at the wiring connection between the reversing radar and the vehicle's installation. If there is a loose connection, reconnect it properly. 4. First, shift into reverse gear. If the reversing light does not come on, it indicates a faulty reversing light switch. If the reversing light does not illuminate, the navigation system will not switch to the reversing camera view.
Oh, I've also experienced the sudden loss of signal in the reversing camera. It happened just a few months after buying the new car. The screen went completely black while reversing, which really scared me. I immediately stopped the car, got out to check the camera, and found it covered in mud. I wiped it clean with a wet tissue, but the signal still didn't come back. Then, I inspected the camera's connecting cable at the rear of the car and noticed the plug was a bit loose. After pushing it firmly back in place, everything returned to normal. If that doesn't work, you might need to check the fuse or visit a repair shop, as tampering with it yourself could damage other circuits. To prevent this, I now clean the camera every two weeks and pay extra attention to waterproofing the wiring on rainy days. In short, don't panic when this happens. Take your time to troubleshoot minor issues, as most can be solved by yourself—it might just be a simple case of poor contact.
