Many drivers have complained about issues with the backup camera in the 2014 Ford Explorer. Problems include a black screen while reversing, sporadic functionality, and a notification to get it checked at the dealership. These concerns have been reported to the NHTSA. To troubleshoot on your own, you can try unplugging and then reconnecting the cable that connects the camera to the display to reset it. The camera at the back of the vehicle may have been damaged by objects on the road or a blown fuse. Additionally, make sure that your Explorer has the latest SYNC update installed, which can restore normal functioning to the backup display and navigation system. The performance of Ford's backup cameras is often reliant on their exclusive SYNC software.
If the rearview camera on a 2014 Ford Explorer malfunctions, a typical solution is to reset the camera within the main menu settings.
