wozzatdci Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Hello, I've just bought a Mondeo with reversing camera and have noticed that the rear camera view displayed on the screen flickers and switches between a green screen, the radio display or map display. I've done some searching on the internet and the finger points towards water ingress. I'd like to have a go at accessing it and spraying WD-40 on the connections or replace the camera if necessary. Does anyone have any experience of this fault, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb07 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I've got exactly the same problem, it's booked in to the local dealer on Friday so I'll let you know what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Admiral Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Do you still have sensors as well as the camera? Surly still under warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wozzatdci Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Yes I have front and rear sensors. Warranty ran out six months ago I'm afraid. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb07 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Got my car back from the dealers, all they said was it needed a new camera. Sorry I can't tell you more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wozzatdci Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Anybody know how to access the camera. I can't see how to take the trim off without breaking the clips off. Particularly the ones on the outside edge next to the rear light lenses. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 You have to pull the exterior trim off a and it's not a comfortable task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wozzatdci Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Looks a bit more involved than pulling. The tabs at the sides would shear off if it was pulled off. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 You have to prise it off and its inevitable to break at least one clip. I did it whilst installing the camera but to be honest even after breaking a few clips it still went back in without an issue and is secure.
