If the backup camera display in your 2017 Chevy Malibu isn't turning on at all, it's probably an issue with the display itself, not the camera. You should check the wiring diagrams for your car. If you installed the monitor yourself, make sure to review your work. A common mistake in DIY installations is plugging the camera into the AUX dash cable instead of the video feed. In most cases, if the display isn't powering on, it's either due to incorrect connections (verify that the proper power level is being sent to the display) or a damaged monitor. Additionally, some people only set up their backup camera to function when the car is in reverse, so ensure that you are in reverse if this has been a concern in the past.
