Title: No Signal
Post by: GleamB on April 17, 2019, 08:58:09 pm
The previous owner was proud that he installed a backup camera in the coach....all by himself. Unfortunately, he left me no paperwork as to how he did it or what brand he used. Yesterday, after years of good service.....it quit on me, with the screen lighting up blue and the words " no service ". I am at a loss. I can't tell you how dependent I am using the camera, not only to check to see if I still am pulling the toad, but for checking oncoming traffic, police cars and when it's ok to reenter my lane, after a pass. Question is.....what do I do now??!!!!  We are headed towards Houston, so I am sure someone knows how to check the system out. Is it time to add some side cameras and redo the installation??? HELP!!!!!!

If you can, check to see if the camera is getting power then that is the first step. Also need to check the signal connections between the camera and the dash monitor.

Yes, absolutely start by checking connections at both back (camera access panel in center of bed overhead storage area) and in the dash area from wiring into Audit to monitor.
