Why isn't the rearview camera on the Ford Fusion functioning properly?

There are a few potential reasons why the backup camera might stop functioning in the Ford Fusion. The most frequent issue is a blown fuse, indicated by a "No Signal" message on the screen. Check for a 15-amp fuse at position 23 in the fuse box, but refer to the diagram on the cover for confirmation. If the camera shows a black and white image with static, it may be due to a loose or damaged wire. Sometimes, faulty wiring can also trigger a no signal warning. Blurry or distorted pictures can often be fixed easily by cleaning a dirty camera lens with a microfiber cloth. Additionally, in rare cases, the camera could have been wrongly connected to the auxiliary cable instead of the video feed, or the entire unit may need replacement.

    My 2014 Ford Fusion's rearview camera works for a while but then suddenly stops. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue? Thank you in advance for your help.

    My camera is a bit unreliable - sometimes it functions correctly, and at other times, it doesn't. Recently, it wasn't working, but I followed Larico Moore's advice to unplug my phone charger, and that fixed the issue.

    My Ford Fusion SE was running smoothly until I brought it in for routine service. Soon after, when I needed to use the backup camera, it suddenly stopped working. I never had any issues with it before. I suspect the service technician may have done something to cause this. A friend mentioned that this issue is common with Fords, which surprised me because I've owned three Ford Fusions SE previously and never had any trouble with the backup camera.

    I discovered that keeping my iPhone MagSafe charger connected all the time could lead to a problem. Once I unplugged the charger, my camera started working normally again, as if nothing had happened. This issue occurred only once.

    My camera has been sporadically functioning for the past year. After reading a suggestion to unplug the phone charger, I tried it and my camera started working perfectly again!

    I removed fuse number 23 to inspect it, found it to be in good condition, reinserted it, and the camera began functioning once more.

    My iPhone cord that sucks is connected to one of the USB ports in the middle console. When I unplug it, the camera stops acting up on my 2015 Ford Fusion Energi Titanium.

    My husband's 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid has a distorted picture on his back-up camera. The camera started having issues after he got a 60,000-mile service about 4 months ago. Can you please provide assistance?

  • Robert Farrell

    Sometimes my rearview camera flashes on and off, suggesting a possible issue with the wiring. The right side behind my driver's door has been hit three times on my car.

    If the backup camera of your Ford Fusion is malfunctioning, it could be due to a problem with the wiring, software, or a fuse.
