Hello all,

Just picked up a 2011 SCREW on Saturday. I have been looking at Raptors for years now, and finally a proud owner.

I am having no luck with the search tool so I apologize up from. Does anyone have experience with their backup camera giving a black screen and then saying "camera unavailable". I did some googling and tried the rear connector last night, tapping/banging on the camera, and no luck getting it to work. I have not tried looking at fuses yet.

Thanks, and look forward to all of the knowledge!!!

Welcome to the place, nice pics ! My camera does that once in a blue moon, I've just been to lazy to check the connector, not sure if maybe you should pull the inspection cover off of your tailgate and check the connection in there as well.

How do I go about pulling that without removing the emblem? Is it just pulling/prying it? I started to do that last night and got scared haha. I need to replace the emblem so was going to wait, but I need that camera running pretty soon. Park in a garage where I work and difficult to see for sure.

Idk for sure how the camera comes off, but what I meant was, drop the tailgate down and take those star shaped bolts off in the centre of the tailgate and take the cover off, look in there, the camera should be in plain view, well the backside of it and any connections that are behind there. Maybe you have the pole dancer on yours, I don't have that.

I do have the pole! I will look at it though. It was the ONLY thing I didnt look at when test driving :mad:
