G37 Coupe backup camera black screen
My 2010 G37s backup camera stopped working yesterday. Black screen with guidelines.
Has anyone experienced this before, and what was the fix?
I took off the trunk liner and use a multi meter to check the red, black, and white wire while someone put the car in reverse. Multi meter detects power to the red, black, and white wires. Nothing on the yellow wire. Is that normal, as I think that is the video out wire from camera?
Also, I found a used backup camera from a G37 sedan. Does anyone know if they are compatible with the coupe?
Thank you very much.
Regards,
M

Found the problem. The wire was broken when I took off the rubber line and grommet going from the interior of the car to the trunk. Can't figured out why it broke as the wires inside the rubber grommet is protected from the outside element, and why it broke now after 8 years. The red wire was broken, and one of the green wire had its plastic shielding broke off exposing the copper wire inside. Fixed both up and the back up camera working again.
Something for you to check if you get a black screen with only guide lines from the back up camera.
