Just got finished with the replacement in my 2013. It's guys like you that spend the time to put these top quality instructional videos together that encourage the rest of us to do the task. Thank you very much.
Dan Nichols thanks for those very kind words.
@@ThezNutzGarage can you install one if my 2014 didn’t come with one at all?
Thank you, saved a lot of money following your tutorial, and it all works like a charm. My dad would be proud of me if he were here. I did run into an issue with the lock nuts but ended up figuring it out. Thank you again
Thanks my camera just quit, so now thanks to your nice in-depth video I know what's in store and no cuts !!
Thanks for sharing your experience on this video. I replaced my wife camera on her 2015 ford fusion this evening in about 45mins and it’s working great.
So much for making a video like this you don't know how it helps the rest of us it looks a little time-consuming and a little difficult if you're doing this for the first time but people like you and others who make videos like this for the rest of us who are in the dark we really appreciate it great job have a great day
I wish I had a good camera man. Over the years or so I have been trying to make my videos better than the previous one. Thanks for watching and have a blessed day.
I just followed these instructions on my own 2014 and everything went so smooth. I really appreciate that you made this for someone like me who might not have the automotive know how, but has the willingness to watch and learn. Thank you for helping me save myself hundreds of dollars.
Thank you for watching! Glad I could help.
Hello, THANKS for the video. I finally got around to replacing my 2013 Fusion camera after a few years of it sporadically working and not working. Always seemed to fail when I needed it the most. A coworker and I replaced it this morning in about an hour. Your video was great with the exception of a couple minor things. We had to figure out how to disconnect those small white connectors on the outside of the assembly. They were just simple pry offs. We also had a little difficulty removing the last part of the assembly due to the Ford emblem. This also caused an issue when replacing it. Removing the license plate and holder made this much easier. Anyway, thanks again for saving me about $500. Lets just hope this camera lasts till I'm done with the car. lol
Very good video, thanks for posting it!
Used when replacing backup cam in my 2013 Fusion.
This is awesome, been looking for this video quite some time and gave up, now found someone that took the time to save everyone else money!! Tks for the vid!!
David Johnson your very welcome.
David Johnson I bought mine off of eBay.
Great information and tips. My 2013 Fusion was exactly the same and now works perfectly. It only took me about 90 minutes. Could have done it in an hour, but my neighbor likes to talk!! Saved over $600. Thanks.
Glad I could be of assistance.
My friend thank you! Just completed mine today and works perfect. Your walkthrough helped tremendously. I do recommend if any one reads this, to get the ratchet wrench for the two nuts underneath. I used needle nose on both. Was able to get about 1/8 turn at a time and it took forever, but still managed to get it done. Ratchet would had made that part quick.
Thank you Thez Nutz Garage! Just replaced the backup camera on my 2013 Fusion Titanium by following the steps from this video and it went really smoothly. Took a while for the camera to arrive from the eBay seller, but it only took me about an hour to replace the camera. Hardest part was getting the four nuts off the back plate, but some WD-40 helped a lot wit that. Thank you so much for the video!
Your welcome.
Yea, these four drove me up the wall. All my tools are left in Europe so I made this replacement using adjustable wrench from Ikea tools set…
Thanks for the video mate! Installed this on my grandmothers car and she was ecstatic.
Clint Syftestad glad I could help.

Thank you dude. Hello fellow Madison County resident. I did some looking around and one of the big reasons for the failure is the moisture that gets into the connection. When you put things back together, clean up the connection if you see any crud in it. Also, they say to put some electrical grease into the connection to help prevent it from reoccurring. There may be a recall on this issue as the Explorers also have the same issues as had a recall issued. Good luck y'all and thank again for the video.
We moved back to Gibson county last fall. Thanks for the great tip!
My 2015 Fusion just started having the same issue. The image is upside down and the camera is now angled more downwards. No error messages. This video gives me the confidence to give it a shot.
Take your time and watch out for those sharp edfes
Thanks for the video. Its kind of tough to get the center panel back into place because of those two white circular tabs on either end. I had to sort of mangle one to get it back on, but with the four screws holding it, I'm not too worried about it. Also, there is a small cover over the screws for the pull-down handle. Not sure if your video mentioned it, but it pops off readily with a flat-head screwdriver. The entire job took me about 30 minutes. I'd rate it a 3 on a difficulty scale of 1 to 10. Finally, I tested the camera before putting everything back together and it didn't show the lines on the screen, but once I reinstalled everything correctly, the lines showed up. Not sure what happened there, but don't despair if the lines don't show on the first test of the camera.
Thanks to your video I just did this swap myself. Went exactly as you said. Thank you so much for the savings!!
Hey i know you from Facebook sadly my kids outgrew their powerwheels
Thank you for posting this. I was able to save over $700
I anything I can do to help!
Thanks for making this. It helped quite a bit!
You’re very welcome!
I just picked up a replacement for my 2013 fusion at a salvage yard for $45. Gonna give it a go today and see if it solves the same exact issues described in this video.
Ford should be ashamed of themselves. Kudos to you my friend for your time and diligence to show how why
Thanks! I changed mine today. Works great. 👍
My replacement camera worked great for the first couple days then I got the same error message as before any ideas?
Thank you for this great step by step video. I'm so happy to finally have my backup camera working again! I bought a used one on ebay for $69.00 and with the help of your detailed video I was able to replace it myself and it works great. I would advise anyone that buying a used camera on eBay is the way to go. Most of the used ones on eBay are from salvage yards where the car was probably totaled but the camera was fine and the salvage yards remove the parts that are still good and sell them on eBay, and most come with a return guarantee. Mine has a 30 day return guarantee.
The only thing I had trouble with was those last two white clips that you have to squeeze together and push out. They are hard to get to and you are going to need a very long pliers or needle nose pliers.
My camera came with the whole housing unit and harness wires. I was happy about that as I thought the problem could possibly be in the harness wiring, so I just replaced the whole housing unit and harness wiring.
Again, thanks for the video. Yours is the only video on TH-cam to show step by step how to replace the camera, so without this I don't think I could have done it myself.
P. Differ thank you for the great comment.
I am happy I could help. Have a blessed day.
Do you have the part number for the parts please
@@azorilla0924 no, sorry I don't. But it will tell you if it's compatible with your car.
Thank you! Video was great!
Ganna try this on Saturday. Just sad ice been loyal to Ford since the 90s and it speaks for itself when my cousins 08 lexus still has a working back up camera while I have to replace mine after 6 years.
Exactly what I needed. Thanks man!
Glad I could help.
Great job explaining.
I believe those cameras are used in more than just Fusions. My F250 has a hitch mounted camera in a housing, and it looks exactly the same.
Do you think the 2015 trunk could go in the 2017 ? I really don’t like my chrome trunk lid I feel I only need to change the tail lights to a old 2015 and the rear camera panel from a 2015
This was a great video! Saved me 700 dollars (Dealer said they needed to do programming for the replacement?!) less than 100 for the camera. Thanks for the tutorial man!
Where do you get the camera
@@pnw-yu4do Got it on amazon. I will say that after using it for a while, it's a little buggy and the advanced proximity function doesn't work. but i have a working camera, and that's good enough for me!
@@anoack the “advanced proximity” feature is likely why it required programming
Thanks a lot Bro. You just save my life. Thanks
Wellington Oliveira glad I could help!
Thanks sir , well prep video
Thanks, saved me some money!
Thanks everything you said worked to the T
Donald Lewis glad I could help.
My camera just isn't working at all the main screen is saying rear camera is unavailable. Contact a dealership. Will replacing the whole camera work as well if you know?
Just installed a new camera on mine but it looks zoomed in and i can’t zoom in/out. Also don’t have the yellow red and green lines appear.
Thank you sir!
You’re the man!
Thanks.
Glad you stated that it DID NOT have to be programmed! My local dealership quoted me $484 for the replacement of the module. Thanks for the tutorial and information.
Justin Sumner thanks for watching.
@@ThezNutzGarage Thanks Justin, I appreciate your help! I can do this instead of giving my dealer $585 to do it!! -- (with your help!!) Thanks again!!
Dan if you have any questions feel free to ask.
My local dealer just quoted me $1087
@@drewgirton4264 my dealer told me when I took it to them they had to program it in order for it to work properly, it was a program fee of $98
I'm with same problem on my car, also a 2014 and the camera sometimes go black with a message on it saying that camera is unavailable and I should contact ford, sometimes it's split in middle of screen so half bottom of image shows on half top and now I'm also getting the horizontally flipped image, will give it a look as you did and try to fix it on my own.
Alfredo Fernandes it’s the camera that is bad. Now you can go into the settings and adjust a few things. That might help.
Where did you purchase the camera? Do you have a link? Tks
I purchased the camera off of eBay

Ty for the video
I had to subscribe just because of the intro 😂😂😂
Thanks for subscribing.
Thanks You
Clear instructions both verbally and visually.
Bill Greig thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.
So I know this video is pretty old but if you read my comment pleaee help! I m looking to take off that bumper part aswell see why my camera and trunk release assembly are rattling and shaking. Are clipped onto the plastic bumper that you took off? Or how does that work?
This video is pretty complete minus a couple minor things. Take off the fabric cover and see if there are any loose screws.
Regards from Iraq for you
Thanks
Abdalqadr Majd hello from America! Have a blessed day!
Is there any chance that the root problem was poor contact from corrosion of the camera's terminals? I know the extra $80 for a new camera isn't a huge deal, but finding and ordering it will take a similar amount of time as the work itself. Hate to ask, but did you try cleaning the contacts and plugging the original camera back in to see if that solved the problem?
I did not see any corrosion on the plugs. Once I replaced the camera it has never given me anymore trouble. I will hate to rare that apart and it continue to not work.
How to remove pull down handle for 2016 Fusion. One screw is visible but 2nd one is blocked by handle. Design of the handle is different for 2016, and I could not find any information on line. Thanks in advance.
If you join this group I will be able to help you maybe a little better. You can share pictures and videos of what you are working on.

Thanks! Great job illiterating
Did you open up the old camera and see if there was anything that could refurb it? Mine is doing the same thing. It just felt to me like a program fault. That so many cameras are failing with so low mileage, and thus such short usage durations is a quality and durability issue. Likely around maybe 30 seconds used in a day. If it was one minute a day. That's 6 hrs a year. This is a ridiculous fail rate. Planned obsolescence?
Deborah Simpson I never opened it it see if there was any short circuits. Yep that seems like premature failure for how little they are used but cheap parts make the dealerships a ton of money.
can the camera bezel be separated from the trunk trim?
Cem Aydin I removed everything then only replaced the camera
This is ridiculous how they made this so difficult to get to. This just happened to my car today.
I finally changed mine today. Those 2 god awful long middle screws on the trunk panel broke off from the trim. They aren't needed.
Glad to help.
Is it possible to have a factory camera installed on my 2013 fusion se and if so how much would it cost to have the dealership do the installation?
Jordan Hamilton does your car have a back up camera now?
No
Jordan Hamilton you would be better off adding a aftermarket radio and camera.
Wow, they really made it a pain to access that camera. Still not as big of a PITA they gave us with the stereo design should we ever want to do an aftermarket stereo. Note, I have the 2013 Ford Fusion with the base 4.2" screen.
Mark Chaney that make everything so intergraded you are forced to the stock set up. Overall we love the car the way it is.
@@ThezNutzGarage I bought it used last week so didnt really have upgrade options =P. Got a great deal and its nice to drive, I just miss my 9 inch screen, carplay, and backup camera i had in my 16 malibu. Just evaluating my aftermarket options now. Seems I can add the camera, just have to do some extra programming and a dongle to connect.
Ok i fixed my camera but cannot seem to get the trunk lock cover back on. Whats the trick??
Cem Aydin I remember it was a little tricky to snap back into place. I think I was just very care getting it to go back together. It was so long ago I really don’t remember exactly how I did it.
Hi! Thanks for this video. I would like to ask you if a 2017 fusion camera will work on a 2015 fusion.
Carlos Fabricio Laureano if the part number is the same I would say yes. The design of the camera should be the same as well.
@@ThezNutzGarage I agree with you. However, if you look on eBay for a Ford fusion camera 2015, you will see that the models available says that it fits a 2013 to a 2016 fusion. If you search for a 2016 camera, you will see that the description says that it fits a 2016-2019 fusion. So that's where I got confused since we can assume that the 2016 fusion is in between those models (2013-2016 camera) and (2016-2019 camera) so I assume that if a 2016 model is compatible for both years range, then it should probably work. I wasn't able to compare the parts number. However, what Ford told me was that there are not the same. Maybe you can do your search on eBay and see what I am looking. Thanks in advance!
Post a link to the eBay listing

Thanks man for taking the time!
Here is a complete harness with camera. It would be easy to test out before you remove the old one.
It also has the part numbers on the harness for you to cross check with your harness.

thank you cause im having that same problem they wanted $700 to fix minds i said no thank u
george young yeah it’s just to expensive to go to the dealerships anymore.
I probably missed this in our video caused I was more focused on taking all that crap off just to get to the camera. What was the actual/correct part number of the camera you used? I have sooooo many on the internet that I found. I don’t want any surprises when I get ready to do this.
Well I really don’t remember but call the parts department at your local dealership and see if they will look up the part number for you. I didn’t give a part number because I didn’t want someone to buy the wrong camera for their car basted off of what I said in the video. So many cars and model changes to know.
@@ThezNutzGarage ok thanks. I did get the oem number off the Ford parts website and then matched it up to Amazons inventory. That camera was 250 bucks at Ford. Same part at Amazon from the vendor who sends it to Ford was 69 bucks.
And thanks for the video. Very helpful. Too much plastic on a car nowadays.
Have a wonderful night
Hello sir!! Do you happen to know part number for the rear view camera for ford fusion titanium 2014. Ill appreciate the help! Thank you!
Aldin Zorilla i will look to see if I can find it.

Any idea's why mine is intermittent?
The cameras just do that. Maybe clean the connection where the harness plugs into the camera.
Where do you guys get the camera
Ebay
How many miles were on yours when you started having issues?
lsxnation about 65,000 miles or so.
Thez Nutz Garage exact same thing at the same mileage
Same on my car
Exact same mileage for me. This is blatant planned obsolescence, plain and simple. Ford should be ashamed, to mess with peoples lives like this.
What screw you used to removed the camera cover?
What size socket did I use to remove the screw?
Its a Torx head screw. you'll probably need to buy a set if you don't have them already. I don't recall the size we used.
Could you name the seller you bought your replacement camera from? Thanks
Jonathan I bought it off eBay. I think autozone sells them now.
Thez Nutz Garage yea i see them not sure which are oem i see some for around $40 and some are 200 oem from ford
I'm having the same issue.
January Teas it’s not a hard fix but you have to be careful.
Do you happen to have the part #? The link expired
Jeremy Miller I found it on eBay and it was the only one the seller had. I know there are more on eBay that are for sale.
So 600 dollars just for the camera or for ford to replace it? If it is for them to to everything, i see where all the labor is. Thats quite the job. Why didn't ford just design it so you could reach the camera through the back trunk lid after you remove that huge carpet cover? I mean obviously an electronic like this is going to go bad eventually, why not give easy access to it? This is more work then I thought it was going to be. Thanks for posting the video... obviously pretty common issue with 30k views weew.
$600 for the entire job.
My local Ford dealer just quoted me $1087. After the $135 diagnostic. They said about $450 for the part and the rest in labor. Ridiculous. This job does look like a lot of work for someone who doesn't work on cars. I'm going to take it to my mechanic.
@@drewgirton4264 I bought the replacement camera part for 135 dollars from amazon, some third party makes them. I swapped it out myself on a 2017 ford fusion energi platnium. It didn't help at all though so it wasn't the camera module. (second I turned on back camera after it was replaced still had the digital garbled signal, looked like a 1980's tv with a bad signal, no vertical hold bunch of weird noise. And of course now a few weeks later after all that camera is working fine consistently now with original. Figured it was wire touching ground where the wire pulls in through the metal in the trunk. 100k miles of rubbing against a semi sharp metal surface will do it.
He probably just saved me 400 bucks from having to pay someone to do it.
Just watched this video. Looks fairly simple for the most part, but could you replace my camera on my 2016 Ford Fusion that just stopped working today and literally 2 days after I made my last car payment 🤨🤔 I feel like this is a setup and I’m not surprised tho, as I’m sure the company knows this and did it on purpose to make me have to spend my money to fix my vehicle!!!
Bring it on over.
