One common reason why the backup camera may not be working in a 2012 Ford Explorer is due to a faulty fuse. If you encounter this issue for the first time, it should be a cause for concern rather than alarm. Simply replace the fuse with a new one, and if the problem resolves, then you're good to go. To check if the fuse is blown, remove it from its holder and inspect the wire for any visible gap or dark/metallic marks in the glass. If the fuse is indeed blown, you can find a replacement at local auto parts stores like Advance Auto Parts or AutoZone. Just be sure to match the correct amp and size of the fuse you are replacing.
