2007 Escalade rear camera problems

jase2

I just bought the Escalade and the service rear camera comes on the screen when you put it in reverse. I have checked the fuse and it looked good. Has anyone had this problem? I would like to try and fix it myself if anyone can give me a few hints on trouble shooting the problem. Thanks for any help, jase2

Sounds like an error message pops up instead of the rear view though.

Maybe there's more than one fuse? You could try checking the wiring I suppose but those harnesses are usually a rat's nest to me. Otherwise you're probably looking at a faulty camera or some module that controls it.

Jase2, I did some poking around the web and found a couple of links that might help out. This first one involves a technical service bulletin from GM: http://chevroletforum.com/forum/tahoe-suburban-25/backup-camera-problem-20153/
The second one tells you how to replace the camera if that's the problem: http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-escalade-ext-esv-forum-2007/425513-2007-escalade-esv-rear-camera-replacement.html

You're welcome, hope you get it fixed!!

Sounds like that's normal behavior, if you mean that you get a view of what's behind you when you place the vehicle in reverse. You don't want to back up into something that you might not see with your own eyes!

You get no view of anything, just service your rear view camera comes on the screen. Thanks
