How to Fix a Black Screen in the Rearview Camera?

Solutions for a black screen in the rearview camera: 1. Promptly check the wiring and the connection points of the vehicle installation to see if there is any loose connection. If found, simply reconnect it properly; 2. If the video power cable is aged, try replacing it with a new one; 3. Prolonged use of the rearview camera may lead to poor chip light sensitivity, and even cause a snowy screen effect. In such cases, it is necessary to have it inspected and repaired at a service center or simply replace it. The rearview camera, also known as a parking assist system, reverse visual system, or vehicle monitoring system, is widely used in various large, medium, and small vehicles for reversing or driving safety assistance.
Last time my reversing camera also went black screen, I figured out a few solutions. If the camera lens is dirty or fogged up, gently wipe it with a soft cloth—avoid using hard objects to scrape. The fuse is crucial; check the manual to locate the fuse box, usually near the interior or trunk area. If it’s blown, replace it with a new one—just a few bucks. Wiring issues are common; inspect the connector between the camera and the head unit—if loose, plug it back in firmly; if worn out, replace it. Voltage instability might also cause black screens—try restarting the engine or vehicle system. Preventively, clean the lens regularly and avoid flooding it during car washes. Safety first: when the screen goes black, don’t force reversing—rely on your eyes and mirrors as backup, and get it fixed ASAP.
