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.
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.
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?
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.
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.

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.
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)
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
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.
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?
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..
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.
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.
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): ruclips.net/video/Wvgfb0R5XTM/видео.html
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.
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
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.
I wish everyone made videos so simple, yet rich in content! And edited.!
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
Which wiring harness?
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.
Thank you so much!! I have the same exact truck & my camera just went out , I was ecstatic when I found your video!
i guess it's kind of off topic but does anybody know a good place to watch new series online ?
@Xander Skylar Ehh I use Flixportal. Just google after it :D -tommy
@Tommy Graham Thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it !
@Xander Skylar glad I could help :D
Thanks for the good information. I have the same problem with my 2012 F-150.
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.
Dont forget to mention it costs over $250 just the camera... that's crazy
Could you elaborate on the tests need to do to make sure the circuitry works fine?
Great Video!! Thanks. Where did you get that shop manual?
great video. the parts ou ordered are genunine Ford parts?
Hey brother this is a great video! Can I ask what you used to pop the emblem off to gain access to the camera?
reviving this one..... Did you have a CEL lite?
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?
Grounding issues with the Fords can get crazy. Camera went out and now advancetrac. I need to go check all my grounds
Thanks for sharing I have the same problem today I guess I'm gonna have to replace the camera and hopefully that works 👍
Very nice video! Thanks for helping out the rest of us. 👍🏼
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.
Are you talking about led headlights?
Thanks cheezedawgb, this was very helpful.
To save $$ reinstall the emblem using SUGRU. Just put a wad at any contact point and press in.
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.
Great tips. Could you provide the OEM p/n's ? And where you got them (if online)?
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.

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):
ruclips.net/video/Wvgfb0R5XTM/видео.html
Curious if your zoom feature worked after the swap and calibration.
Where did you order the parts for your camera?
So was the manual pics you had also in the software with forscan?
Thanks for the great video.
At the end , Is the camera calibration done for the tire guidelines only ?
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.
My camera is starting to show the blue screen. Great quick video.
Do you have a link for where you bought the camera?
Mine blacks out while in reverse, any idea what it might be?
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)
I do recall trying that.
i replaced my camera and it still did not work? do I have to buy a tester?
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
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
Gerrr, doing the same here. 7 yr old w/78k mil, the camera should last longer like 10yrs.
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.
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.
Great video, Thanks, my only question is what OBD tool did you use and where to get it?
This is the one I use: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QRE0OOA/
Thank you!
Could you include links to where I can find all the equipment you used please? Ie. the camera, new emblem, diagnostics scanner
Parts and links are in the description. Good luck!
Nice video... very informative..
Where did you get the electronic shop manual?
I got it on ebay.
Thank you!!!
The program is called forskin?
Forscan
Lol. Maybe I need to enunciate better...
Program is FORScan
So you’re saying I need to order a new camera as well as the emblem and the assembly? Correct
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.
Yes its still working great. Good luck!
Brian Waldron did you find out what the problem was with your camera I have the same problem
AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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?
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..
Crap, hope that's not the problem with our 2013 Ford Edge. Camera sometimes upside down, sometimes blank with error message.
Wait you seriously have to break the emblem
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.
Mr P Cool good to know!
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.
You should have shown how you removed the ford emblem.
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.
How do you get to the camera settings? TIA
Did you get the parts directly from ford?
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:

Thanks so much!!
Very useful video. Thanks for sharing. Can you tell me which parts you ordered and where you ordered them from?
I bought this obd2 scan thing and didnt know it works with forscan.
I wonder if just a sync master reset would have worked
Tried it...did not work
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.
Thanks man
Nice video. Thx. Costs!!!!!!!!!!!!?????? Thx
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
Ricardo Zubia Glad that worked for you. That was the first thing that I tried but it didn't help.
Yep, I do the same thing.
My 2013 F150 is doing same thing. $315 for the camera?? What a ripoff. It’s a freaking $30 camera.
Totally. Its still cheaper to DIY though...
Matthew Davis I agree!
Did you use your own computer to scan the codes and reset the codes,?
what program are you using and where can i get it
my Bluetooth and phone is not being Displayed on my sync to
radio is not connecting
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
Please elaborate because I'm about to try this to get to the wiring of my camera. Thanks
Foreskin?
its work for 2011 ford edge
I laughed a little too hard at FORscan.
It's a shame you have to destroy a perfectly good part!
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.
This guy gets it.
Fordscan.... I see what they did there lmfao
i have taken the ford emblem off amy times and never broke it, is a plastic tool and be gentle
Over
300k views. Maybe it shoulda been recalled 🤦🏻♂️
Literally bye Ford.. so annoying
Forskin
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 ?
That scanner I used was under $20
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QRE0OOA/
Where did you find the shop manual?
What’s the shop manual you’re using?
Forskin
