Just finished replacing mine. Took 53 minutes and it's pretty simple. Just move slow when you get to the clips. I used a headlamp to see into the small space & how to remove the clips. Now the picture is 120% better especially at night and I have the moving guide lines when I am trying to back into a tigh spot. Thanks MacT... Tools: 12 mm long socket for 6 bolts. 15-T Torque bit. 5/16 long socket to push two tabs in. Small screw driver or large micro screw driver. Needle nose vise gribs to remove 6 screws. Headlamp to see into small area.
Just finished replacing the camera in my wifes 2012 edge, thank you so much for this video, it helped a bunch and also saved me a ton of time, it took me exactly 30 mins from start to finish.
I had the same issue with my 2012 Lincoln MKX. The dealer quoted me $700. I’m not mechanically inclined by any means, but the upside down camera had me all kinds of frustrated! 😤. I bought the camera from Amazon for $77. Took me about 2 1/2 hrs (had to adjust the camera and modify the plastic bracket holding the camera. The camera works better than the factory installed original! With the 💸 I saved I can take the Fam out to dinner! 😎Thanks! 👍
Did this tonight and it was the smoothest repair job I have ever done on a vehicle. Took about an hour and a half, and the only real difficult part was that somehow a couple of the white clips did not come off with the plastic panel so I had to get some pliers and slide them into the door to squeeze them and pull them loose. Otherwise I’d have had it done in about 20 minutes less.
Good video. I'm half way there having it apart and checking the connectors. Until now I was hesitant to buy a camera but this video has convinced me as I have the same conditions as you had.
I find this beyond coincidental that my 2011 just started doing the exact same thing a few weeks ago. Mine works occasionally also and other times none at all. I look forward to your findings
It's a common failure, almost all Edges will face it at least once. Ford did issue a service bulletin and I got it covered under warranty. But the factory instructions are to remove the logo and work from outside, drilling the metal to reach the screws if I remember it correctly.
I see in your video this one had no problem showing the grid and backup lines... I’ve read on some forums that people were having issues with aftermarket cameras not showing backup lines. Did you have any issues at all with this camera not showing lines or anything?
Amigo. Seu video é o melhor que vi até o momento. Minha Edge não esta funcionando a camera e hoje vou tentar trocar seguindo suas dicas. Só não quero ver fantasma. Abraço.
Hello! I was inspired to give this a shot thanks to your video, sadly I'm not meeting with the same success, with the old camera which is dying I still have occasional video, with no parking guides. With the new camera which I bought from the link provided, I'm given the error telling me to contact my dealership, any next steps to troubleshoot that?
I have a question. First thank you for the step by step instructions! Huge help. Are use the exact same camera you suggested however, after installation I noticed at the back up lines are off almost as if any calibration. As I’m backing up, the lines are saying I’m turning however, I’m going straight. Do you know how to calibrate those lines?
I install the camara for my 2013 Ford Edge it turn on so I put everything back on. When I tested again it didn’t work at all. I bought the camera with your part number posted on your video from Amazon. Did I do something wrong I follow all the steps and bought the same camera
Thanks a lot for this. I got one from the link you posted and replaced by following the guide here. One issue I had was removing the long screws that are threaded on both ends. What tool was that you used? I'm talking about the screws at 7:42
Have you noticed if the camera is angling towards one side more than the other? I got a replacement and mine was aiming more towards the passenger side
Nice señor really help me will take the challenge because my Ford Edge 2013!is doing the same monkey business thank you again best regards God Bless you and family
From where did you purchased the camera from? I'm trying to find one that comes with the Grid Lines, please provide me with the Link, is for my 2012 Ford Edge SEL 3.5L
Can someone tell me where they bought their new camera ebay amazon ford?? I just want the lines to work the way it should a website and a part # is really what I'm looking for

Husband said that watching you take the camera out was very helpful! Thank you.
Oh, by the way our backup camera just coincidentally just started going upside/down a few weeks ago (August 2021).
Just finished this on the wife’s car thanks for taking the time to document this on the tube

Have to say, watched your video a couple of times and decided to change out the camera today. Took about 25 minutes to complete. Thanks.

This worked for my 2011 edge. Thanks
Thanks for the step by step instructions. This was an easy repair.
Just what I needed to get camera out without breaking plastic bracket! Thx!
my son and I just did this tonight and thanks to your video it was easy. The sun went down about 10 minutes into it, so we did it by flashlight :)

great video, thanks. I love your shirt.
Lay down a towel... Work gently. Don't scratch up your piece like this...
This guy doesn't care about the paint in everything he does on this truck.....🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I install the camara for my 2013 Ford Edge it turn on so I put everything back on. When I tested again it didn’t work at all. I bought the camera with your part number posted on your video from Amazon. Did I do something wrong I follow all the steps and bought the same camera
where do you send the camera out for repair?
How do I make sure that the camera I’m buying has the guidelines?
You said you bought it on eBay but you left an Amazon link. Which one is the right one? I need the same camera.
I think ill replace the license plate light bulds while I'm in there and get a panel removal tool.
Thanks a lot for this. I got one from the link you posted and replaced by following the guide here. One issue I had was removing the long screws that are threaded on both ends. What tool was that you used? I'm talking about the screws at 7:42
I just used pliers. Be careful to not smash the threads.
How did you get the picture image on your display?
Does the Ford Edge have the same wire harness?
I want to install a camera and my model has a "knock-out" where the camera goes.
Have you noticed if the camera is angling towards one side more than the other? I got a replacement and mine was aiming more towards the passenger side
Nice señor really help me will take the challenge because my Ford Edge 2013!is doing the same monkey business thank you again best regards God Bless you and family
After I installed mine my taillights and license plate lights keep blowing fuses
I like to know how can you add a front camera to your Ford edge when it already has a backup one
I appreciate if you would let me know if you have done that thanks very much
I installed a backup camera on my 2015 Ford Taurus SEL that I got from eBay . The camera works but the display is upside down , any suggestions.
What socket size to take those bolts out
Anyone know how similar the process is on a 2015+?
( how change backup camera in 11edge ford
From where did you purchased the camera from? I'm trying to find one that comes with the Grid Lines, please provide me with the Link, is for my 2012 Ford Edge SEL 3.5L
I need the same camera for the same car. Did you find a good one? Let me know please
Is this the same process to replace the lixey plate lights? If so, I'm doing that to avoid having to take all this apart again.
Can someone tell me where they bought their new camera ebay amazon ford?? I just want the lines to work the way it should a website and a part # is really what I'm looking for
I thought you needed a programmer to get the lines?
😁😁😁😁👌👌👌
Which cars are worse, the ford edge or windstar. LOL
Haha!
😂😂😂😂
Ford needs address tis issue, their cameras all go out. Design allows water into the connection. Totally a manufacturer design flaw.
😂😂
Thanks for doing this video. Helped me out
