We use our vehicles’ backup cameras every day—and when they stop working, it’s likely time to see our Subaru repair specialists. Depending on the symptoms you’re noticing, the issue could be with the screen, the lens, or the wiring. Anytime the camera system isn’t functioning correctly, head over to Herb Gordon Subaru so we can diagnose and fix the problem.
What Causes Backup Camera Issues
There are a number of factors that can cause issues with your backup camera. The first is the weather: extreme heat or cold can affect the camera’s electronics, and we certainly see a wide range of temperatures here in Maryland. Other causes include a dirty or damaged lens, damage to the wiring, or a software glitch. Fortunately, our Subaru repair experts will know how to fix the camera regardless of the cause.
Signs Your Backup Camera Needs Professional Subaru Repair
Identifying a backup camera issue is relatively easy. Here are a few symptoms you might experience:
- Your dashboard screen is blank when you back up.
- There’s an image, but it’s blurry.
- The screen freezes or flickers.
The first thing you can do to check your camera is to grab a clean cloth and wipe off the lens. Sometimes—especially for off-road enthusiasts—dirt can prevent the camera from working correctly. If that doesn’t do the trick, it’s time to come in for professional Subaru repair.
