I did once with my 14 Sport. I parked close to a bright digital sign and when I came out of the store my screen looked just like that in reverse. Restored itself to normal the next time I put the truck in reverse miles from the source.

Seen anything like this with your backup camera? (Green lines)

Could be a bad camera, cable, or connection. You might try disconnecting the cable where it connects to the tailgate. Make sure it's clean and all pins are straight and reconnect. Several have had issues after a spray in bedliner where they didn't reconncet everything well.

Easy way to troubleshoot that before heading to dealer.

Try unplugging and plug-in back in the camera/tailgate harness located above the spare tire might solve this issue

Mine occasionally goes to the blue screen of death. It resumes working when I turn the truck back on.

Yes, Ive had it happen a couple of times. No real rhyme or reason as to when or why it happens. Always comes back to normal at next restart of the truck.

Mine did this about a month after I had my Ram. I brought it to the Dealership and it was a 20 minute fix, they had to update the system. Ever since the update I haven't had anymore issues

My 17 that I traded in had this problem. Got progressively worse. Looked exactly like yours does.

is that a crack in the display on the lower right quadrant? I've seen LCDs freak out along those lines for ALL video when there is damage on/near the ribbon connector area of the display.

if this only presents on the backup, I would think it's not the display itself. if it's an all the time thing, that's a real shame.


as for those who have said that they had cam issues after overexposure to direct sunlight, yes, that is a big deal and very common problem with outdoor cameras getting the CCD oversaturated or fail to return good info because of overtemp.
