The copper wire natural will wick moisture up into that connector due to heating and cooling. You can repair that connector by letting it sit in distilled white vinegar for a few minutes to eat away the corrosion with the power off obviously and then take and rinse it with water and then blow it out with compressed air. then fill it with dielectric grease. If the pins are corroded off then this will not work but if you catch it soon enough you can save it and not have to replace or direct wire the harness. Had to do this on some aftermarket taillights on my truck.

Another idea for some may be to detach the connector and harness from the mounting clips in the liftgate. Use the length provided in the harness and zip tie it up so that the connector and metal pins are not the low point for the water ingress any more. If the connection isn't the low point, water can't attack and corrode it.

Problem is the liftgate moves up and down so you can never truly avoid this by simply raising up the electrical connection.

I will clean those plugs really well with corrosion remover, pack the pins with dielectric grease and then wrap it in flex tape.

I have to disagree with using any type of grease on the terminal contact surfaces. If the grease is conductive, you could cause partial connection between the circuits causing issues. If you use dielectric grease, which is not conductive, you could prevent the pins and terminals of the two mating connectors from making good contact. The problem here is the connector does not have any seals at the wire entry point nor between the connector mates to prevent water entering. To prevent a similar issue, users should ensure no water is entering through that area AND/OR completely cover the connection point with electrical tape from 1" before the connection point on each side. In other words, start at 1" away from one connector and wrap completely in electrical tape until tape is 1" past second connector. Finally, whenever using dielectric grease, only apply it to the outside surface of the male connector and never to the mating surface at the pins or terminals. We have had hundreds of customers who have caused issues using dielectric grease directly on the terminals or pins. Use a cotton swab to lightly coat the outside surface of the MALE connector prior to plugging it into the female. A similar thing can be done to the inside of spark plug boots taking care to only apply a VERY THIN layer and keeping the grease away from the contact in the boot that mates to the top of the spark plug.

I have a 2021 doing the same thing. I wonder if it's the same issue? It works on and off with blue screen. This is a K8A PIU.

I've got a 2020 explorer and the camera has been going in and out since February. Dealer has been waiting for parts since I called back then as it's been a part of a recall. Maybe I can clean it up since it still works on and off.

I know this is off topic but can you tell me the location of the rear lift gate chime on a 2016 Ford Flex? It has gotten so quite that I can barely hear it anymore.

My backup camera works about 10% of the time hopefully when I try this it fixes it

Have a 2014 that has sat outside since new. The camera has been intermittent for years. Sometimes a distorted image, sometimes no image, and now my son says the picture is reversed left to right. I'll have to try this fix when I get time, but it's not worked in so long, I'm not sure I care anymore. Haha. Car has 155k miles.

Received the “see dealer” warning. Replaced with a cheap knock-off but such had solid white guidelines which made it appear my wheels were turned. Ran calibration with FORScan which said was a success but didn’t fix such. Installed a Dorman camera but couldn’t calibrate as I receive a “B115E:08 - LIN communication fault from the video camera”. Put OEM camera back in and ran calibration and received same warning. Does my camera need to be calibrated with a different scan tool or is this likely my issue?

How it going boss I was wondering what type of scanner do you use because I just got a 2010 mustang gt and I’m a technician so I’m still learning but I would like to buy a scan tool that I can use that my how that will specify my codes into details. I have both tc lights on and I have both abs lights on and my battery voltage system light come on and off sometime

CRC electric cleaner would clean the camera harness

I've commented on some of your other videos. I have a 2011 FOrd Taurus Limited. Camera was fuzzy and lined first then it's upside down. Not sure of a fix.
