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.
