I tried to save a few bucks by installing my own electric trailer brake kit. Installation went fine but now I lost backup camera on display. Double and triple checked all connections and nothing losse that I can see. What did I do wrong or what to look for?? Thanks.
 
Some information would be helpful if you would like some advice. Year model trim level? welcome to the forum by the way
 
Thanks. It’s a 2021 1500 Big Horn with a 8.4 display.
 
As @kapinallinen2 mentioned, if you had the battery disconnected while working on it, it can take some time for the trucks systems to reactivate or reset

Found my problem. Camera video feed in is small red connector. Very small coaxial cable and metal of outside of male plug was not crimped good to metal shielding of cable. Pealed back outer cover a bit to expose more shielding and crimped fitting.
