Powerstroke2000 Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Unsure if everyone does the same, but when on the road I always leave the in dash monitor on, so I can keep an eye on our towed vehicle. Upon returning last month on our long trip home, my dash monitor went from working fine, to a black screen! It still showed on the monitor that it was on...by a green light showing, and if I pushed the button it switched to red, stating it was off. But, turning it back on (green light) I now still get a black screen. Would anyone know if I have a dash screen issue, or rear camera?I'd like to get this resolved before our next outing, and hope finding the issue isn't too technical, but would appreciate any suggestions/advice.

Ray,IN Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Make and model of rear camera system, hard-wired or wireless? FWIW, I have a Voyager wireless system, the monitor had a vid 1 and a vid 2 selection. If i accidentally hit the selector button the screen goes black. touch it again the video returns..

Powerstroke2000 Posted May 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 Thanks, I'm assuming it's wired, as it's the OEM from when the coach was new. I'll check on the other buttons on the monitor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will B. Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 Obvious question: Have you checked all the fuses? Secondly, have you checked the camera's physical wiring? Likely a multi-wire plug, something could've come loose, like a red power wire or black ground wire.

Without knowing the make of the camera and the monitor we can only guess what might be the problem. Since you get the red or green lights, it seems pretty sure that it is getting power but you should check that with a voltmeter to be sure that it is near 12V as sometimes it can take less to light the indicators than to operate the system. You should also look a the wiring and let us know what you have. Some systems use separate power supplies to the monitor and the camera while others just have a coaxial cable between the camera & monitor with the power for the camera supplied by the same cable as returns the video signal. Pictures of the monitor and anything else might also help. Edited May 6, 2023 by Kirk W add a thought Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......
