How To Fix Rear Camera Upside Down.

Ford Edge: Resetting the Backup Camera

Red 2021 Ford Edge From Front-Driver Side

Who knows how many rear fenders have been saved by fill-in cameras? And non but fenders, but our kids' bicycles, as well.

Simply, as with any new feature you'll find on a Ford Edge, sometimes it'south merely one more thing that you have to bargain with.

And so how practise you reset the backup camera on a Ford Edge?

In that location are two ways to become about it. Start is the soft reset, in which you just press the reset button on the camera for 10 seconds. Side by side is a difficult reset, which involves disconnecting the machine battery.

We'll become a little more specific below. We'll also get into how exactly a backup camera works, how to take care of it and how to address some of the common issues Ford Edge drivers have with these units. If you lot need to know or you're just curious, read on.

A Look at the Fill-in Camera

We don't need to explicate the nuts to you lot. It's a photographic camera hooked upward to a monitor, so yous can see what'due south behind you. But the pull a fast one on to the backup camera is that the image is mirrored before information technology'due south sent to you lot.

This fashion, you'll accept an easier time navigating obstacles. If a trash can appears on the left side of the monitor, and so it's to your left behind the car. If you see a cinder cake on the correct, information technology's on the correct.

The most common problems people have with these cameras are not really technical failures, but only the lens getting dirty. This happens all the time if you lot live somewhere with a lot of rain, snowfall or mud.

All you really need to do is brush off any big chunks of mud and clay, spray some windshield washer or rubbing booze on your microfiber cloth, and then wipe in round motility. You should have no problem seeing at present.

How to Reset Your Backup Photographic camera

The soft reset actually couldn't be easier to perform. You lot have two cameras, each with its own reset button. All you demand to do is hold that button down for almost 10 seconds, and that should reset your camera back to mill condition.

If you tin can't find the reset buttons, check your possessor's transmission. It might be in a unlike place based on model twelvemonth and trim level. The difficult reset is a piffling trickier, but it'due south still pretty like shooting fish in a barrel. Here'due south how to practice information technology:

Make sure the auto is turned off; and so pop the hood.
Disconnect your battery. When disconnecting, y'all always desire to pull the negative cable first, then the positive.
Turn your machine on and press the horn or turn the headlights on to drain the leftover energy.
Turn the car dorsum off.
Reconnect the battery. This time, positive first, then negative.

A hard reset will reset all the electronics in just near any vehicle, and you tin can use this any time your system is interim up.

But this is going to reset everything, including radio stations, Bluetooth connections, organisation settings, everything. Then, try to find that reset button first.

Convenience Is Key

I of the great things about the Ford Edge isn't just that it'southward easy to drive, but that it's piece of cake to take care of. A lot of problems can be fixed with a single button. When you read the Vehicle History while car-shopping, that's e'er a nice particular to notice.

Reset backup monitor

I have a 2021 Ford Edge. Bought in Dec 2021. The back up monitor all all of a sudden went wonky on me, and then I called the dealership, who said let the service dept look at it. But they were booked pretty far, so I saw the YouTube set up posted online about holding downwardly the radio buttons to practise a reset on the monitor and it looked so like shooting fish in a barrel that I tried and it worked great! Support camera back online and working in under 5 mins! So thanks to anybody who posted that helpful hint!

Rear camera out of alignment

The backup camera on my 2021 Ford Edge Titanium suddenly started pointing downwards towards the top of my license plate limiting my view and causing the warning alarm to ring because the sensor is picking up the ground. Ford service claims the photographic camera is working as normal. Two different dealers refused to accommodate the position. Help!

No one knows were the dorsum upward photographic camera soft reset is located.and no 1 has answered the questions. Some responses said wait in the owners transmission. And nevertheless there is no mention of a back up photographic camera in the owners manual!!!
