I'm assuming that the issue with your 2017 Honda CR-V's backup camera is more significant than just a slightly blurry image. Let's go through a checklist to determine why it isn't working. Firstly, check if your brake lights and backup lights are functioning. If they're not, it's possible that the switch triggered when you shift gears, which also activates the camera, may be faulty. This is typically a relatively easy and inexpensive repair. Another possibility could be a poor connection to the switch, rather than an issue with the switch itself, which can be more challenging to fix. If those components are working fine, there is a chance that the camera itself has malfunctioned. You can attempt a factory reset if the camera has power but no video feed. If there is no power, inspect the cables leading to the camera for disconnection or damage, and verify if the camera relay has blown.
One of the main reasons why the backup camera in a 2017 Honda CR-V might not be functioning is due to a blown fuse, faulty wiring, or a damaged camera.
