The rearview camera in your 2013 Chevy Malibu is a relatively simple piece of equipment that records a video signal and transmits it to the display screen. Most issues encountered with the camera are often attributed to other components interfering with its signal. A frequent reason for the display malfunctioning while in reverse is faulty wiring, typically located in the trunk area near the camera. Another possible cause for the camera not working is a malfunctioning signal converter, but this would typically impact the entire system, not just the backup display. A possible quick solution to try is to disconnect the car's battery for 10-15 minutes and then reconnect it, which helps to reset the internal systems and can potentially restore the electronic functions.
A problem with the battery may result in the backup camera ceasing to function.
