2016 Ford Escape Backup Camera Replacement
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2023
- My stock backup camera died on my 2016 Ford Escape SE, so this video shows how to replace it. I ordered a Dorman 590-419 replacement off Amazon (a.co/d/6fvUwBP) for around $160. The new camera has been working great for a few weeks now, so don't hesitate to purchase this model if you are looking for a quality part.
The video shows the entire process or disassembling the inside trim on the liftgate and removing the trim panel that holds the backup camera. I have read some comments in forums and on other videos that talk about a quick and easy method where you don't need to remove all of the trim pieces, but I am not confident that is advisable unless you really know what you are doing. I would be worried that I would damage the trim panel that the camera is mounted onto.
I hope this video proved helpful, and the only tools needed are a T20 Torx driver, a phillips screwdriver, and a 10mm deep well socket on an extension. Good luck and thanks for watching this video.

Hi thanks for the video. It took my about 30 minutes to do. I have 2016 Ford Escape Platinum and it has electric tailgate so when removing the large plastic section you need to unplug wire connection to the open/close button on the bottom driver side as you are removing that section FYI. Thanks
ha!!! funny you should mention it. a couple days ago i decided to see why my camera was working intermittently and didn't disconnect the liftgate button and the large plastic section was hanging and swinging like crazy and i thought for sure that button would never work again. i got lucky and it does still work. wish i would have seen your comment a few days ago though.
your comment should be pinned to the top!

I want to thank you for the video. I am a single mom who has to watch every penny. The Ford dealership here in Austin quoted me about 600.00 to replace the camera. With your video it cost maybe 75.00 with the camera and a new wrench. From the bottom of my heart thank you.
Patti, I’m very grateful that this video helped you out! It’s awesome that you are not afraid to jump in and tackle these kinds of projects.
Thank you for a quick, easy video with all the steps called out. Changed my daughter’s camera out in 30 min flat!
I'm really glad it helped!
Took me 2 minutes to pop out the plastic holder from left side. Replace the camera then pop the holder back in, done. Never opened the hatch.😊
That's awesome! Can you explain what you used to pop the plastic holder out with? How much force did it require? That is the obvious "easy button" option, I was just scared I'd break the plastic cover and have to replace it as well as the camera. If this camera dies, then I'll go that route and post a new video. I haven't seen anyone actually do it that way, but I've seen a couple of comments like yours that make me want to try it...
I used a flat tip screwdriver and a plastic molding tool. Of course you have to pry the left side only. @@shackf16
I’d love to know how you popped out the plastic holder without opening the hatch. I see four bolts on the inside of the plastic holder that appear to hold the plastic panel to the hatch. I had to access the nuts from inside the hatch to unscrew them. Then I was able to remove the plastic holder.
I just replaced mine, out here in Taiwan. The plastic plate fitting is tight, but I took a chance and figured I may snap the clips. I used a flat bladed screwdriver to prise up the plate, but, yes, the clips snapped pretty easily. Having removed and replaced the camera, I looked at what was there to work with and I came up with a simple and effective fix:

Great Job. Thanks for taking the time. This video is the perfect How-to on our broken camera.
Thanks!
Excellent video, very helpful
Very good video 👍👍
Thanks! I hope it was helpful.
That part # is actually an engineering number per Ford parts at the Ford dealer. It crosses to a similar #.
I am multitasking, so I didn't see that you just had the panel hanging when you tested it. I was thinking to myself: "Is he really not going to address the fact that the image is rotated 90 degrees? 😱" Yes that emoji is an important part of the quote. 😂
It’s funny, even though I had just left it hanging sideways - I freaked out a little inside when the image first came up.
does the camera work well at night? i've seen where people used a third party brand and the camera didn't work well at night.
also, do the grid lines need recalibrated?
The camera is as good at night as the OEM camera was. I haven’t done a close examination of the grid line using cones or some other way to measure them, but anecdotally they seem pretty similar to the original ones. I certainly haven’t hit anything and I use them a ton.
What kind of camera did you put on you passenger side mirror and how did yoh connect
I believe the brand is Echomaster. A few years ago I suffered a pretty traumatic injury and I’m blind in my right eye (hence the cool Capt America shield on my eye). I had a local stereo shop replace the very lame stock Sync radio of buttons and dials to the new head unit, and they installed the side camera as part of the new setup. There’s a PAC-branded video switcher that connects the side camera to the video input on the receiver so that when my turn signal is active, the camera video pops up. Search Amazon for “Pac Intelligent 4 CAM SWTCHR” - costs about $90 and it’s worked perfectly for nearly 6 years!
If you have a Sony system that has the 8 inch screen, then Echomaster has a wiring harness that would connect straight into the factory harness to provide the same capability without changing out the stereo head unit. The camera has saved me a couple of times from changing lanes with someone in my blind spot, and whenever I drive my wife’s car without this setup I catch myself looking at the stereo whenever I try to change lanes and wish she had it. I installed this same type setup in my 2003 Ford Expedition as well, but used 4 cameras (front, rear, left and right). In my mind every car should have this feature!
What type of dash camera did you buy and do you have a video for it?
It’s a Rexing V1P Pro. It has Full HD/1080p cameras front and rear. Rexing says they are 170-degree wide angle and I think that’s close. It captures a very wide view in both directions. I’ve had it a little over 4 years now, and the only problem was the original mounting bracket that is adhered to the windshield had an issue and the camera would fall off when I did a right turn. Rexing replaced it no problem and it’s been perfect since. I haven’t gone back and watched the videos very often, but it has a WiFi capability so you can watch it thru their app on your phone. I have a large capacity (128GB?) microSD card installed, and I picked up a cheap microSD to USB-A adapter to make it easier to view if I ever needed to. I did download the Rexing program for my PC and verified that the GPS data is included in the videos in case I ever needed to fight a bogus speeding ticket. I think having a dash cam is a wise decision in today’s litigious society, and I feel a lot more comfortable knowing it’s there if I ever need it. Here’s the Amazon link: a.co/d/aAyFJmB
Unfortunately I did not record the installation process, but it wasn’t too awful. The biggest headache is getting the rear camera cable through the wiring bundle at the top of the hatch - that took some creative use of an old wire clothes hanger. Good luck if you decide to go this route.
Hi! Will this work for the 2016 Ford Fusion? Thank you!
I checked on rockauto.com and the part numbers recommended for the Fusion are not the same as for the Escape, so I would definitely NOT purchase the same camera. The Dorman part for the Fusion is 592261 or 590433 - not sure why the have 2 different cameras though. The 1st part number costs $77.79 and the 2nd is $144.79. All 5 of the cameras they list look identical to the one in my Escape on the screen, but quite likely have minor differences that may prove catastrophic to try to install in the wrong vehicle.
Good luck!
Thank you for the video. I followed your instruction and everything was going smothly..till well. Is there any way you can list the part number or the part name for the plastic housing the camera goes into? I broke mine getting carried away and the local dealership only wants to sell me the the Liftgate finish panel trim panel. Tailgate handle Part number CJ5Z13508FPTM for $160.00 just so I can remove that housing or mount and disguard the rest
Sorry for the long delay in responding, but I wanted to get a good answer - but...I didn't find anything helpful. Obviously the dealership would be a great source for this part if they sold it individually, but doesn't seem like that's an option. Another source would be a local salvage yard. Many of the bigger ones are really just a parts clearing house and you aren't going to be rummaging around in the yard trying to find it still on a vehicle. I'd guess you'd be able to find just that replacement part and it would be significantly cheaper than what the dealership was asking for. Good luck and please chime back in with whatever you discover.
Just took mine out and noted the following wording and part number(s):
Ford
CUENA
CJ54.S43404.B.PIA03
110318003
>ASA<
When I Gooooooogled, I found the whole silver plate with the Ford badge, which kinda fits with what the dealership said. i.e. I doubt they sell the plastic housing by itself.
Breaker's yard?
bro real men don't need backup cameras.
