2012 Ford Edge Backup Camera Blurry Pic On Touchscreen

[goslats]

Wrong spot I know.... Trying to delete. Moved to Sync Access.......

 

I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem and can help troubleshoot.

 

Woke up one morning and the backup picture was blurry on the touch screen. Gently Wiped off the lens with window cleaner and soft cloth but that did not help. Made sure it stayed dry for a month in case there was condensation inside the lens but it is still blurry.

Thanks

Fairly common complaint across all car brands. Here's one answer to the problem; cold weather.

If it doesn't clear up in warmer weather, need to have Ford service look at it. May have to replace the camera.

I guess I have the same problem. My camera isn't necessarily blurry but it is not as clear as my friends 2012 Hyundai Elantra. I live in NorCal and it's relatively warm year round.

Ours gets blurry sometimes, I just take a soft towel and clean the lens.

Works for me.

If you are brave, you can clean the lens inside the camera. I used a hacksaw blade to slice the camera box open and remove the circuit board. The camera is dirty behind the circuit board. I glued it back together with silicone it is very clear now.
