If the backup camera in your 2017 Honda Ridgeline isn't functioning properly, the first step is to inspect the head unit. If it's frozen, it might not activate the camera correctly when you shift into reverse. Rebooting the screen can often resolve various issues. If that doesn't work, the next thing to examine is the camera and its wiring. A damaged camera or loose wiring may prevent it from turning on. If the camera is functioning fine, the following check should be done on the reverse lights. If they're not working, it could indicate an issue with the reverse switch that also operates the camera.
My 2017 Ridgeline's reverse camera isn't functioning properly. The display only shows a black screen with a faint outline. I've been trying to schedule a service appointment with Honda, but haven't received a response. Do you have any advice to offer? Additionally, I have a New Five Star Warranty, which is good for up to 100,000 miles. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
In 2018, my car also stopped working, and I discovered that there are 3 broken wires in the wiring harness. Is it worth repairing? The dealer is asking for $400, and it's no longer under warranty. :(
The backup camera on my 2017 Ridgeline stopped functioning. After some online research, it appears that there is a known issue with the wiring harness design causing wires to break. My husband checked our wiring harness and sure enough, he found a broken wire.
My Ridgeline's camera is also malfunctioning because three wires were damaged from the tailgate being opened and closed. Honda refuses to repair it.
Does anyone have a link to where I can buy a new wiring harness? I noticed that three wires are broken on mine, and I'm not confident in my ability to repair it correctly.
It's highly probable that the wiring in your vehicle is damaged close to the back door. You can check out this video for a clear explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myDPBpgwFrY
A few usual causes for the backup camera in a 2017 Honda Ridgeline not functioning include a blown fuse, faulty wiring, or a defective camera.
