problem #2

Aug 082022

Ridgeline Sport 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 42,000 miles

As per many complaints on the Internet, I can see that the wiring harness for the backup camera in the tailgate (on the driver’s side) is worn. The problem is intermittent, but improves if the flexible cover for the wiring harness is adjusted. This seems to be a common problem as it is a design flaw in the placement wiring for the backup camera.

backup camera not working

Backup camera started to intermittently go out a week ago, now the camera does not work at all. Traced the problem to the tailgate. The wiring connected to the backup camera is being pinched by the tailgate causing a short to happen. Video is no longer being sent from the camera to the screen.

This is from a www.vehie.com (I have not received any recall notice for this problem) 2019 Honda Ridgeline Parts: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BACK OVER PREVENTION Date of Incident: Apr-09, 2021 Date complaint filed: 11:53 Apr-23, 2021 BACKUP CAMERA WHICH IS A MANDATORY SAFTEY FEATURE STOPPED WORKING. WIRING HARNESS WHERE IT ENTERS THE TAILGATE WAS PINCHED AND WIRES SEVERED. THIS WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER STATED THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN TO ROUTE THE WIRING HARNESS DIFFERENTLY TO MINIMIZE THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ON THE Honda Ridgeline FORUMS OF BACKUP CAMERAS FAILING DUE TO WIRING HARNESS ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS I BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD BE OFFERING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE WIRING HARNESS AS THIS IS A MANDATORY SAFETY FEATURE THAT IS NOT RELIABLE.
