Camera System Unavailable

[Jmckee388]

I am having issues with the back up camera not working. Checked all connections, fuse, etc and still nothing. Back up sensors work but camera doesnt. Black screen that says “camera system unavailable”. I have a 2021 tradesmen with the small radio screen (4”?)

Any suggestions on what to check before trying a new camera?

Thanks

I get this periodically. But usually does not stay out long.

Its typically something to do with the harness in the tail gate I have found. I have had this on 2 different rams over the years, try slamming the tail gate hard. That worked on them both. It also went away for both when I removed my tailgate to use a contactor canopy and relocating the camera to the canopy and plugging directly into the chassis harness.
