What to Do When the Rearview Camera Does Not Display in Reverse Gear?

The rearview camera not displaying when shifting into reverse gear is most likely due to poor line contact. It is necessary to promptly check the wiring and the connection points of the entire vehicle's installation to see if there is any loose connection. If there is, simply reconnect the loose part properly. The rearview camera not displaying in reverse gear may also be due to aging of the video power line. You can try replacing it with a new power line. If the black screen issue is resolved, it indicates that the video power line was indeed the problem. The rearview camera, also known as the parking assistance system, reverse visual system, or vehicle monitoring system, is widely used in various large, medium, and small vehicles for reversing or driving safety assistance. This system makes the situation behind the vehicle more intuitive and clear when reversing, making it one of the most practical configurations for reversing safety.

Last time I also encountered the issue of the reversing camera not displaying when in reverse gear. At first, I thought the camera was broken, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a blown fuse. I located the corresponding reversing camera fuse in the fuse box, pulled it out to check if it was broken, and after replacing it with a new one, everything returned to normal. If the camera is dirty or covered with mud, cleaning it might solve the problem. Loose wiring connections are also a common cause, so check if the rear camera plug is securely connected and if the wires are worn out. If you encounter this issue, don’t panic. After parking, try restarting the vehicle, as sometimes software bugs can be cleared this way. If you still can’t fix it, it’s safer to take it to a 4S shop or a professional repair shop, as poor visibility while reversing can easily lead to accidents.

It's quite annoying when the reversing camera doesn't display after shifting into reverse gear. I must first remind you that this affects safety, especially when reversing at night or in tight spaces where blind spots increase the risk. I suggest temporarily rolling down the window and using mirrors along with audio alerts as assistance while quickly troubleshooting. Common causes include the camera lens being blurred by rain, a blown fuse that you can try replacing yourself, or aged/loose camera wiring that needs reconnecting. Most cases are caused by minor issues, so don't neglect regular cleaning of the rear area to prevent obstructions. If the cause can't be identified, sending it for repair is the safer choice to avoid operational errors leading to scraping accidents.

When the reversing camera doesn't display after shifting into reverse gear, I usually start with simple troubleshooting. It might just be a loose camera connector - unplugging and reconnecting it often solves the issue. If a fuse has blown, locate the fuse box to inspect or replace it. Other causes like a dust-covered lens can be fixed by simply cleaning it, while wiring damage is rare but easy to check. Don't rush to the repair shop - performing these steps yourself saves both money and time, as it's usually a temporary glitch that returns to normal.

I've researched this issue before. The common causes for a non-displaying reversing camera include camera malfunction, control module errors, or unstable power supply. I can check the fuse status myself and try replacing it. If there's no improvement, I'll measure the voltage to confirm proper power output. Aging internal components of the camera can also easily cause this problem - if cleaning the lens doesn't work, then replacing the camera or repairing the wiring should be considered. Occasionally, performing a software update and reset can restore normal functionality, so keeping the vehicle system updated helps reduce this issue. Professional diagnostic tools are more efficient, but I'll try some basic troubleshooting myself first.
