Accordo 120 rear view Camera cable run

[Dramfineday]

Got a problem with the rear view camera. The screen has recently turned blue on both channels - all other functions of the screen work. It's been suggested that the cable between the camera and the screen may have been damaged or unplugged somehow. Does anyone have any idea what route the cable takes, on a 120, from the camera to the screen? This event happened suddenly as it was working when I left the house on a warm up run but turned blue in within a couple of hundred yards. I want to try a bit of DIY fault finding first.

There shouldn't be any joints between the one at the camera and possibly at a junction/control box near the dash otherwise directly at the monitor so the route won't matter.
If there's only a single wire at the monitor there will be a control box close by.

I would check out the monitor first,odd that both channels are blue.

On our Adrian there were two connectors just inside the rear wall, one for each channel.
Then, under the moulding in the driver’s door step another pair of connectors that divided the signals before the monitor. As above, the cable run was one wire.

Hope you sort it.

There's remote that goes with this monitor and both it and the manual controls on the monitor switch features on and off and up and down....could be the video chip I suppose. Argh.

I'll have a dig around the dash area and see if I can spot anything

We have an Ellidis 125, (Marquis version).

When we collected it the dealers apologised, saying that during the PDI they had found that the rear view camera was faulty. Only the blue screen showed.

They replaced the camera, under warranty. It lasted five weeks, then the blue screen of death reappeared. It seems that there was a faulty batch.

Our third camera is working well, hopefully not one of the faulty batch.

I would suggest that you have the camera itself checked.

I haven't been inclined to do anything yet to investigate it due, in part, to the cold weather, the dealership being closed and having nowhere to go at the moment. Thanks for the heads up regarding the faulty batch. Good bit of info that.

You can check the cameras by plugging into a PC using a video to USB converter. I find it very useful when fault finding & cheap.
