'23 Powerboost Platinum - Starting a week ago my backup camera stopped working
"Camera is unavailable Please Contact your Dealership"

this incident was not in any way surprising as this truck has had a constant string of electronic glitches from the get. 8-10 visits to the dealer in 14 months for everything from windows not going up, to trailer brake controller module, to the key left in car door chime being at 100% volume of the stereo. Its a chip shortage truck which I'm fairly confident they just jammed Doritos in where the microchips were supposed to go.

the weird thing is the camera works between 430 and 530 am. When i leave for work the camera works. When i stop for coffee 30 min later - no go when im backing up and its off for the rest of the day.

Already tried resetting sync system. Any suggestions tp fix this very odd problem and avoid another dealer visit.

At that time of the morning the vehicle is probably colder than after you warm it up with the engine. Don't know if that would affect anything.

The only other things that come to mind are the ever-present battery issues plaguing the F-150s. I replaced the battery in my 21 PB about 3 months after I got it new. The SOC was low and it was stopping updates from completing. Also, most of the fuses in the cabin fuse panel were not seated fully so I made sure they were locked down. Good Luck!
