Front camera not working

[blockdoc]

My front camera is doing something weird. Enabling it shows me the rear camera, and stays on when in drive or neutral.

I disconnected the battery cable for 24 hours, hoping to kinda reset it, but no change. Anybody have any ideas for something to try short of heading to the dealer? My dealership is 2 hours away & if there's a simple fix or temporizing measure, I'll try it.

I know I'm stating the obvious but it has to be in 4 low to work right?

It does the same in 4Lo, or 4Hi or 2WD + offroad mode + locked diff.

It should never display the rear camera while moving forward in drive. It's like it doesn't change from rear to front for some reason.

So the dealer has been on the hotline several times with no luck.

In the interim, ford had the dealer replace the front camera, the switching module, and the rear camera from my truck. Changing the front camera did change something. Now the front camera comes on, but the rear camera does not. Put the truck in reverse and you see out the front camera. Like it reversed the issue I was having.

Finally got a field service engineer to give it a shot. They have actually borrowed parts off another truck to try to get this thing fixed. Here's where it stands now.

they isolated a circuit that had high resistance from the bcm, we overlayed that and had no change, so all the wiring looks ok at this time

interestingly enough the front camera that we replaced last time is working in the stock unit, and the new one induces the problem that you have, the front shows when rear should, in the stock unit. we have transferred the bcm to yours from the new truck and the switching module, no change, so in short we have transferred all the components involved in making the switch from front to rear and there is no change and the new front camera makes the brand new truck act like yours does, but whe we put your old front camera back in your truck it shows the rear when in 4x4 low – drive.

Nope. You should come fix it for me. Bill ford, they could pay you instead of the FSE

Mine will hesitate from reverse to forward cams. And when reversing and switching to drive with out the front enabled it will stay on in the rear camera for a few feet of driving.

This thread is from 2014. Completely different truck (Gen 1) and camera system.

There is currently a camera issue affecting some various 2020 Ford models that is the result of quality issue from the supplier, which has been discussed in other threads on this forum. The cameras are currently on backorder while the supplier produces the updated part.
