jnissen Report post Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) My 2013 rear camera started to show not available. I figured it was a bad camera module or possibly the harness. I removed the rear trunk cover and had to remove both rear tail-lights. The middle piece needed 4 nuts removed and two push clips. The rear Ford center emblem had to be removed as well. Once the center piece was loose then the camera module was easily accessible. I removed the camera and noting looked odd. I added some dielectric grease to the connector and reassembled. Tried it out and still nothing. I then took the two connectors that are attached to the trunk lid on the interior and put dielectric grease in those connections as well. This time the camera started to work like new. After careful inspection the wiring harness had rubbed a spot through the insulation near the sharp edge of the metal. I insulated this sharp area and re-routed the cables slightly so it would not rub. It's working just fine now. If any of you have a similar issue check out the wiring prior to it going through the grommet to the exterior. BTW - The center emblem can be re-used if you carefully remove the old tape from both surfaces. Orange oil is great for dissolving old glue. I used 3M VHB foam tape on the emblem and it worked very well. Edited April 19, 2020 by jnissen 2 tclemmer and PanteraMax reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
