how to fix the rear view camera not working on my Renault Clio V (2019-Present)?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and turned off.
• Disconnect the vehicle battery to avoid electrical shock.

2. Clean Camera Lens

• Use a microfiber cloth and a gentle cleaning solution.
• Wipe the camera lens carefully to remove any dirt or debris.

3. Inspect and Replace Fuses

• Locate the fuse box (usually found in the engine bay or under the dashboard).
• Refer to the user manual for the fuse diagram to identify the rear view camera fuse.
• Remove the fuse using a fuse puller and visually inspect it.
• Replace the fuse if it is blown with one of the same amperage.

4. Check Wiring Connections

• Remove the trim panel covering the rear view camera wiring (if applicable).
• Inspect the connectors for corrosion, loose connections, or damage.
• Reconnect any loose connectors securely.

5. Test Camera Voltage

• Reconnect the battery.
• Using a multimeter, set it to measure DC voltage.
• With the vehicle in reverse, probe the camera power wire to ensure it receives voltage (typically around 12V).
• If no voltage is detected, trace the wiring back to the infotainment unit for further inspection.

6. Replace the Camera (if necessary)

• If all previous steps do not resolve the issue, the rear view camera may need replacement.
• Remove the camera from its housing.
• Disconnect the wiring harness and replace it with a new camera.
• Reinstall the camera and secure it in place.
