reverse camera not working anymore
After long vacations driving a lot, my reverse camera is not working anymore.
I noticed that after replacing my front lights. But it’s quite unrelated. I for an esta diag showing it’s simply not connected. My F15 is a very early version (I think) and all folks did I asked could not find the proper wiring diag. If anyone has a way to help I ll be very thank thankful. |

Have you tried charging the battery?
If you were away for a long time and the battery depletes enough, it will start turning accessories off… just something easy to try first |

Just changed them both.
Bigger one is same Amps but smaller one is a bit more power than original one to 60AH 540A. Wrong move ? |

Also I noticed it’s not plugged to a module in the hatch. Where is it plugged to ?
Anyone has a way to get the wiring diagram ? Thank you |

You swapped out both batteries since you noticed this issue? Or are they just newer (same batteries installed since you went on holidays?) … just make sure they are fully charged by a battery charger.
I don’t believe the extra juice from the Auxiliary battery is an issue but because of the PCM/IBS management issues, I can’t guarantee that it isn’t. As long as the main battery was the same, it doesn’t need recoding… but did need registering. As a note, there is no option to register the Aux battery on my 2018 F15. Have you had your head unit out for any reason? I was not able to find any OEM diagrams, but most aftermarket systems go to the back on the head unit… so curious if it’s been out anytime recently? There looks to an inline plug connector in the trunk lid behind the camera for easier replacement if it was damaged… another connection that could have come loose? |

I changed the batteries as they were old and low charging capacity.
Once I changed I noticed the camera won’t work. Cause to effect ? Not certain. But sure it was after it. Indeed I replaced the main battery with the same exact from Varta. Never registered it though. Did not know you have to. (Can you pm how to ?) I removed the head unit (nbt 4) to plug my aftermarket carplay box. Two entries are empty though in the back. Ine must be for 360 camera which I don’t have and the other I m not sure. That being said I tried to plug everything back to original and still no luck. Appreciate your insights and help. |

Looks like fuse 154 is what you need to check:

Apparently yes. The "head unit" (aka the CIC - car information computer) is connected to the Central Info Display (screen)...the LVDS data line transmit the video data from the CIC to the Central Display.
Structure and inner electrical connection

Here's the PIN OUT diagram for the reversing camera that shows where the all go:
