Note: I have already sent a message to @Jesse-Infotainment just in case no one on the forums can help.

1. Had a rock chip in front parking aid camera (the one below the Ford emblem). Part # on original pulled camera is MLST-19G490-BC.
2. Replaced camera with what I think is the correct updated part # PJ7Z-19G490-B. Physically, it looks identical to the one that was cracked.
3. Now I get the following when selecting the camera button (the side cameras were not touched, but now don't work either):

Ford F-150 Replaced front parking aid camera, now have blue screen PXL_20241105_171642942.MP


I have ensured all connections are snug, but didn't know where to go past that.

FYI, I have used both ForScan and FDRS previously, and own a Mongoose cable, so if I need to go that route I can.

Thanks!

So in effort to figure this out, I had an idea.

I pulled the sensor from the cracked housing, and put it in the housing for the new camera (so to the truck, the electronics are the same, just without a cracked lens).

Cameras work now, BUT are not in alignment.

I did the alignment with FORSCAN, but it didn't work. The alignment screen would never come up on center dash display. Upon further reading, it appears FORSCAN doesn't work for this any longer, perhaps due to an updated IPMA. True?

So, does it sound like I need to go the FDRS route?
