What is the reason why the reversing camera sometimes does not display?

The reasons why the reversing camera sometimes does not display: 1. Poor line contact. It is necessary to check the connection between the line and the whole vehicle installation in time to see if there is any virtual connection; 2. The video power cord is aging. You can try to replace it with a new power cord; 3. If the reversing camera still does not display after checking the above two situations, it should be because the reversing camera has been used for too long, resulting in poor chip photosensitivity. The reversing camera is also called a parking assist system, or a reversing visual system, or an on-board monitoring system. This system is widely used in all kinds of large, medium and small vehicles for reversing or driving safety assistance.
I just helped a friend fix a similar issue. Intermittent reversing camera problems are quite common. Poor cable connections are a major cause, especially the connector between the rear camera and the head unit, which can loosen or oxidize over time, leading to intermittent signals due to bumps while driving. The camera lens itself might be dusty or obstructed by water droplets, which often happens after rain. It could also be a system software glitch, occasionally freezing, but usually resolved by restarting the system. Blown fuses are another frequent culprit—check the corresponding fuse in the fuse box. Environmental factors like condensation in cold weather or extreme heat affecting components shouldn’t be overlooked. Try wiping the camera lens with a soft cloth first. If the issue persists, visit a professional workshop for inspection to avoid hazards while reversing. Regularly check wiring during routine maintenance to prevent such issues.
