All Cameras Stop Working When Tailgate Removed

[Clarence007]

Is this normal? A blue screen comes on. When I select a camera, the screen just blinks off and on.

You should have received a cover plate that goes on the connector when the tailgate is removed. Perhaps that would solve the issue? I have never removed mine so speculating here.

 

[Clarence007]

Thanks for the reply. I put that cover on every time I remove the tailgate.

Bummer. Maybe @Jimmy07 or someone else who has removed the tailgate can chime in. Has it always done this or just started?

No tailgate, no cameras. Why remove it in the first place?

Quite a few times a season I carry and use an 11 foot slide in camper. (tried to find a picture)

I don't have any problems using the mirrors, as I was a professional driver for over 40 years. I think what's irking me is that my 100 plus thousand dollar truck has such a silly bug. Will bring it up next time I'm in for warranty work. Thanks to both members for chiming in.
