issue Backup camera with weird yellow tint? normal?

xoriceboiox · February 6, 2014

Have any of you noticed your backup camera having a yellow tint where all lights are showing? I'm not sure if it came this way when I bought it or if its something that just started occurring.

You can't tell in the day time but in the dark, it shows pretty clearly.

There's a link of a picture I took of my camera in case it doesn't show.

Have you cleaned the camera lens?

My camera is distorted too. I've been wondering if they are all like that. My gf's 14 grand cherokee camera looks crystal clear

I have not noticed that. Although it's been covered with snow ice and salt for the past two months. I'll try and look for it, but do not think that is normal.

Yours is defective too. The ones that work right are crystal clear. Get your dealer to replace the camera.

Thanks bro, have you had yours replaced?

Mine does the same thing

Anyone have pics of a clear one? Just wanted to compare it to my distorted one

Mine look like a tube TV picture. Chevy should have done better with the camera on a 50k truck.

I see I'm not the only one. I noticed mine had the yellow tint after the tailgate had been closed kind of hard due to the spray-in bedliner. I hope they're able to replace this because it's really annoying.

Yours must have been made in china

And where do you think yours was made?

My truck is 3 days old and I have the yellow tint as well

Get some mineral spirits, dab some on a paper towel and gently clean the camera lens, then wipe with water soaked towel and dry. There could be some wax like overspray on it that will not come off with water.
