Anyone have issues with Backup Camera going black?
- Thread starter frank69
- Start date
Happened once about a month ago and once a couple months prior on my 1/18 3. Until it progresses further I decided not to take to service center.
I did have a similar problem with my S and it did eventually require service. I know they replaced rear camera but I can't recall if that was the entire fix.

Yep... had it happen last week for one day... black screen with white steering lines. I made an appointment with S.C. and a rep called me... pushed the lates software and have not had repeat.
It requires reloading software. I as the same issue w the Ranger who told me it would happen when he disconnected power. He resent me the software and it worked right away. He said it is a known bug that is being evaluated now.
Sometime it takes more than 2 seconds on 5.4. On 5.15, it rarely takes more than 2 seconds. I think if you turn off damcam, the blank screen goes away completely. I think the added side cameras did something to introduce the blank rear camera screen. My guess is that when writing the 1 min files from car's memory to the USB drive, it used to only write 30MB per min, now it is doing 90MB (3x). Maybe if you go Reverse in the middle of a write, it has to wait or something not sure.

Since my 5.15 update, when I flip the reverse mode right stalk, there is a longer delay to activate camera; approximately 2-3 seconds. When I use the monitor to activate rear facing camera, my screen goes black for approximately 4-5 seconds, before the camera is active. The previous software version on my Model 3 seem to “work better” or activate the camera much more quickly.
Anyone else experiencing the same or similar?
Yes I have noticed something similar when going into reverse - will make a point of using the monitor to activate the rear camera to see if I get the same delay behavior. Suspect I will.

SR+ owner here. My backup camera was flickering between color shades the other day, but was suddenly fine when out of reverse and activated separately. This morning the camera went black the entire time backing up, but again worked fine when activated separately in drive. Definitely frustrating as it's not easy to see in my parking garage.

The camera (on-off) usually works and cycling through (reverse to drive back to reverse) seems to do the trick. I just chatted with Tesla online and they recommend scroll-wheel reboot and if problem persists, then it may be Tesla service appointment time :-/. Hoping for the best- we'll see in the next few days, if the camera works like it's supposed and used to. Other than that, my M3DM is working & running fine!
I see this, as well. Sometimes I shift into D, and back into R, and it's fixed. Dunno why. . .

This happens to me, now it seems more often with 5.15. Before it would be black or a second and go to normal. Now it happens more often and stays black for longer times. Lets see what happens. Also once screen went black (Rebooted) while i was driving. No i did not have both scroll wheels pressed. Weird, car was still doing its thing on autopilot.
