Diagnosing and repairing the backup camera on a 2013 Ford F150

[@roymulinix]

I wish everyone made videos so simple, yet rich in content! And edited.!

[@joser4035]

I have had problem with my backup camera for months. Till today. I just mess with the wiring harness and it works again. Great video thanks

[@aliendo1]

Which wiring harness?

[@CordiGroup]

Excellent Video. Right to the point. The only thing that would have made it better is to have a part list so we can order the exact parts used in the video.

[@theMacGyvercom]

Great job on the video. Great information and well put together thanks. I just bought a 2013 Exporer that is having the same problem. This helped me a lot. Thank God I bought a warranty.

[@valerienaquin7267]

Thank you so much!! I have the same exact truck & my camera just went out , I was ecstatic when I found your video!

[@xanderskylar4831]

i guess it's kind of off topic but does anybody know a good place to watch new series online ?

[@tommygraham4727]

@Xander Skylar Ehh I use Flixportal. Just google after it :D -tommy

[@xanderskylar4831]

@Tommy Graham Thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it !

[@tommygraham4727]

@Xander Skylar glad I could help :D

[@teddybear8571]

Thanks for the good information. I have the same problem with my 2012 F-150.

[@henrison]

Dont forget to mention it costs over $250 just the camera... that's crazy

[@LoveJasmine323]

Thanks for sharing I have the same problem today I guess I'm gonna have to replace the camera and hopefully that works 👍

[@Pipe-Layer]

Very nice video! Thanks for helping out the rest of us. 👍🏼

[@mountainmike1685]

To save $$ reinstall the emblem using SUGRU. Just put a wad at any contact point and press in.

[@jowah]

Thanks cheezedawgb, this was very helpful.

[@JulianVail]

great video. the parts ou ordered are genunine Ford parts?

[@lansapapas9503]

I believe if you have led lighting hooked up to your battery it could effect your back up camera. Camera stopped working after I put them on and just removed them after 8 months and camera works fine.

[@carlosmunoz9119]

Are you talking about led headlights?

[@This_Is_Not_My_Username]

Could you elaborate on the tests need to do to make sure the circuitry works fine?

[@wltr3865]

My camera is starting to show the blue screen. Great quick video.

[@murimurimrui]

Is the Forscan free to use or do you have to pay for the license? Also, is it possible to have the link for the download for the Forscan? Thanks.

[@lgallen6560]

Thanks for the great video.

[@kevinz.5471]

Hey brother this is a great video! Can I ask what you used to pop the emblem off to gain access to the camera?

[@bradvincet1848]

I've seen multiple videos on this problem with more than one solution. Either it's a grounding/wiring problem or a new camera is needed. Did you check your wiring connections before ordering a camera?

[@CalebsCars]

Grounding issues with the Fords can get crazy. Camera went out and now advancetrac. I need to go check all my grounds

[@paulsharp6559]

Thank you so much. My 2013 platinum F150 is doing the same thing with the back up camera. I just wished you would’ve told us the price and where to get this. Thanks.

[@haydenroe403]

Gerrr, doing the same here. 7 yr old w/78k mil, the camera should last longer like 10yrs.

[@SuperDogo1985]

Great Video!! Thanks. Where did you get that shop manual?

[@nick32141]

So you’re saying I need to order a new camera as well as the emblem and the assembly? Correct

[@wilmeran]

Program is FORScan

[@nygreek743]

Mine blacks out while in reverse, any idea what it might be?

[@roymulinix]

AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mclarkallen]

reviving this one..... Did you have a CEL lite?

[@jdkroh]

Curious if your zoom feature worked after the swap and calibration.

[@TheTigerwu14]

Where did you order the parts for your camera?

[@shawnrudkin2864]

Thank you!

[@liembuisfamily5729]

I have a 2013 Ford Flex 98000 miles.I had 2 major repairs cost me $6000 ,didn’t pay off my loan yet and now the camera not working , so disappointed in Ford.

[@cswatson4823]

So was the manual pics you had also in the software with forscan?

[@thomaspelot5303]

Nice video... very informative..

[@Wuety06]

Wait you seriously have to break the emblem

[@Khaled-tx5xj]

At the end , Is the camera calibration done for the tire guidelines only ?

[@xoxo2008oxox]

Great tips. Could you provide the OEM p/n's ? And where you got them (if online)?

[@cheezedawgb]

Sure- I did shop around but ended up ordering all of the parts from Amazon. They had decent prices but with free shipping it ended up being more cost effective to order there. I also got the 2-day shipping with Amazon Prime so I got the parts quicker, although doesn't look like all of them are Prime eligible at the moment. Camera: P/N EL3Z-19G490-D www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TRFM7S2/ 7" Nameplate emblem: CL3Z-9942528-B www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FZGGUJ4/ Bezel and camera harness (optional if you don't break the old one): AL3Z-19H511-A www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TNEKY0U/ By the way, I just made a new video this week on how to decode the Ford part numbers so you can find the model-specific p/n when you only have the generic number (like 19G490 for the camera, for instance): kzbin.info/www/bejne/jafKl5Vmh5qLiq8

[@Father.Beocca]

Kind of a dumb question to ask now, over a year and a half after you've uploaded this but did you try connecting the old camera again? (after testing the new camera)

[@cheezedawgb]

I do recall trying that.

[@DeathKingNighT]

Where did you find the shop manual?

[@xuyankai6753]

great video. I replace the camera on my Ford Edge, but it shows everything upside down. Will try calibration later to see if I can fix it.

[@cheezedawgb]

Interesting. Let me know if the calibration helps with that. Most of the time the calibration helps with things like the guide lines not showing up.

[@richardvoss2509]

You should have shown how you removed the ford emblem.

[@sheikhamoepearl]

i replaced my camera and it still did not work? do I have to buy a tester?

[@Zuba_ZX6_1750]

Awesome video! Do you know what line or lines in the APIM that enable the camera? I have a 13' f-150 with sync 3, and I don't know how to enable the camera

[@paperdreamsproductions6560]

Thank you!!!

[@nothintwofancy]

Save yourself time and money before you replace your camera: on your touch screen, go to camera settings and turn off all optional settings. Now try using the camera again. This simple reset of the settings worked for me.

[@dross10001]

How do you get to the camera settings? TIA

[@AZEVALPINE1]

Don't buy the cover as you can use the old one. Ford tries to rip you off and get you to buy a new one. It still has prongs to align it on the truck and the old prongs where it was holding. Use a glue gun and put glue in all the 4 prongs and it holds just fine. Mine has been on a year and has had no problems. Anybody who has used a glue gun knows it will hold just fine and the emblem is just a emblem that has no pressure for pulling it off.

[@cheezedawgb]

Mr P Cool good to know!

[@N4HHE]

Glue gun glue softens in heat. Might not be a good permanent fix, I like the silicone caulk suggestion below There are silicone caulk glues too.

[@2005GLI]

I bought this obd2 scan thing and didnt know it works with forscan.

[@PhilBrooks-b8k]

Very useful video. Thanks for sharing. Can you tell me which parts you ordered and where you ordered them from?

[@eddyfernandez3710]

My Forscan isn't showing me an option to recalibrate the camera. It didn't occur to me yet to clear the code but once I've done that, should I see that option?

[@frankgaliastro5636]

Be careful my camera was upside down but perfect image, do not change the camera, do the same diagnostic and what I found was a module failure in my computer, a $800 dealer fix and luckily, they covered it under warranty. Code shown was the body module..

[@jamest3552]

Crap, hope that's not the problem with our 2013 Ford Edge. Camera sometimes upside down, sometimes blank with error message.

[@leslieatkinson8845]

Do you still have the truck after all this time and did you ever have this problem again? I have the same truck with the same problem

[@randalforehand4573]

Great video, Thanks, my only question is what OBD tool did you use and where to get it?

[@cheezedawgb]

This is the one I use: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QRE0OOA/

[@CCMCJONESEK]

Did ur front. Cam work??

[@brad_ryan8738]

Do you have a link for where you bought the camera?

[@20971matt]

My 2013 F150 is doing same thing. $315 for the camera?? What a ripoff. It’s a freaking $30 camera.

[@cheezedawgb]

Totally. Its still cheaper to DIY though...

[@ryanharmon1719]

Matthew Davis I agree!

[@maryoconnor1732]

Could you include links to where I can find all the equipment you used please? Ie. the camera, new emblem, diagnostics scanner

[@cheezedawgb]

Parts and links are in the description. Good luck!

[@RhinoNigel]

The program is called forskin?

[@VitaDiNotte]

Forscan

[@cheezedawgb]

Lol. Maybe I need to enunciate better...

[@gedionsamuel2256]

What’s the shop manual you’re using?

[@uuulaalaa]

Awesome i got to try this on my truck even tho i dont have a good scanner can yall recomend a decent scanner under 150 usd ?

[@cheezedawgb]

That scanner I used was under $20 www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QRE0OOA/

[@shanefleming6239]

Dude that does not break the emblem the emblem breaks down in two parts the Ford symbol is a cap you press and twist it and it comes off

[@dross10001]

Please elaborate because I'm about to try this to get to the wiring of my camera. Thanks

[@sn95cobra]

Where did you get the electronic shop manual?

[@cheezedawgb]

I got it on ebay.

[@marcwertheim2021]

my Bluetooth and phone is not being Displayed on my sync to radio is not connecting

[@victorbel272]

Thanks man

[@brianwaldron1391]

I have a 2013 Taurus Limited. The camera is intermittent and gives the same message. Has yours continued to work? I would like to know before I splurge on a new camera.

[@cheezedawgb]

Yes its still working great. Good luck!

[@stevephillips4631]

Brian Waldron did you find out what the problem was with your camera I have the same problem

[@mikep9329]

I wonder if just a sync master reset would have worked

[@jerryroberts4844]

Tried it...did not work

[@shaneleavitt1215]

Nice video. Thx. Costs!!!!!!!!!!!!?????? Thx

[@zubia104]

Mine sometimes don't work and trows that same message in screen but i just open tailgate and move cables and it works back again its also a 13 eco boost

[@cheezedawgb]

Ricardo Zubia Glad that worked for you. That was the first thing that I tried but it didn't help.

[@shocktech102]

Yep, I do the same thing.

[@bguiles1]

I laughed a little too hard at FORscan.

[@JasonSmith-qx3zh]

It's a shame you have to destroy a perfectly good part!

[@msilver4888]

i have taken the ford emblem off amy times and never broke it, is a plastic tool and be gentle

[@christybrown2608]

Did you get the parts directly from ford?

[@cheezedawgb]

I bough Ford OEM parts, but I shopped around for them and ended up getting them from Amazon. Pasting this here as well for the part numbers- these were the parts that I bought: Camera: P/N EL3Z-19G490-D www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TRFM7S2/ 7" Nameplate emblem: CL3Z-9942528-B www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FZGGUJ4/ Bezel and camera harness (optional if you don't break the old one): AL3Z-19H511-A www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TNEKY0U/ And I made this video on how to decode the Ford part numbers so you can find the model-specific p/n when you only have the generic number (like 19G490 for the camera, for instance): kzbin.info/www/bejne/jafKl5Vmh5qLiq8

[@christybrown2608]

Thanks so much!!

[@patriotarmament7407]

Did you use your own computer to scan the codes and reset the codes,?

[@CeCe-cx3gq]

Foreskin?

[@pedrod1196]

its work for 2011 ford edge

[@paulcooper4758]

what program are you using and where can i get it

[@glennrudolph]

Over 300k views. Maybe it shoulda been recalled 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@1dbhsa]

This just tells me that Ford intentionally sells these cars with temporary special features just to charge you an arm and a leg for the repairs with hopes that you’ll just buy a new car.

[@dross10001]

This guy gets it.

[@Yeezus_Khrist]

Fordscan.... I see what they did there lmfao

[@12skits63]

Literally bye Ford.. so annoying

[@traderz3399]

Forskin

[@bendover-yr4oq]

Thank you for this video camera worked fine thing morning leave the dealership today now it doesn’t work

[@c.andrades9410]
