Backup camera fuse

[jd58]

Hello this is jd58. I have a 2016 3500 Big Horn with 6.7 Cummins. It keeps blowing the backup camera fuse. It was doing it any time you put it in reverse. When the fuse blows I get a no communication code for both inbox and tailgate cameras. Putting a new fuse in and clearing codes would get rid of the inbox code but not the tailgate. I switched the cameras around and the problem then moved to the inbox. I put a new tailgate camera in and now I could clear both and they worked just fine. Cycled from reverse to drive many times. No blown fuse until I shut the hood. Go to reverse and it blows the fuse. No problem as long as the hood is open. Before I replaced the tailgate camera it would blow with the hood open. Would appreciate any input. Will pursue the parking module tomarrow since it is fed by same fuse f95 10 amp.

Some vehicles have a hood switch that may be related to the reverse camera system. Ensure that the switch is functioning correctly and not causing a short
