I'm not sure exactly what the problem is with your truck but if you feel the need to replace the back up camera ECU (under the passenger seat) I have one from my truck that I took out I'd be willing to sell.

Id suggest making sure all connections are secure that you can easily access, first you can see how the tailgate opening and closing could have wiggled something loose at the camera itself. It's not your screen because everything else still works.
When I bought my 04 the touch screen worked fine for everything but the camera. In my case the display was black rather than white with black bars, but the "Check surroundings for safety" banner showed up as it does in yours. That suggested to me that the issue is not the control unit, since *something* was sending that signal to the screen. Apart from a broken wire, which seemed unlikely, that left the camera itself. Took it to a very good local car audio guy who confirmed my diagnosis and replaced the camera with an aftermarket unit for $120 including labor. Since the camera is barely noticeable I didn't care about staying stock. If you're dead set on stock, you can get an OEM camera (P/N 86790-60020) from McGeorge for $503.51. (List is $764.85.) And if in your case it also proves not to be the controller, be glad: McGeorge will sell you one of those for a mere $1,430.28.)

buy a cheapy 6 volt cam and check at the connection, it's a short pigtail.
That's what I would do. I'd also try to swap the guts into the old housing if that was the case. $305 for new one at partsouq. That just seems like to much to money to me.

Any luck with finding a 6v camera and adapters?
I've searched Amazon and Ebay pretty far, but can't make find 'em. Plenty of 12v, advertised as 6v but in the details are 12v. Same problem as pstevens, blank screen.

I haven't had time to check out yet. I might have to check if the camera is loose or something. If it needs replacement, then I would have to search for a new one.

Thank you. I will try to check the connections
All- taking a second pass at this posting, now it seems like I have an ECU problem and not camera issue. No warning message, just a blank screen. And here I was all set to replace camera; already tore the old one out.

Hey MV CZ! My screen just sstarted going black when I put it in reverse. Did you every diagnose this issue? What's the solution?
My back up camera doesn't work either . The screen doesn't even change when I reverse. Is there a fuse somewhere ? I checked all fuses a d didn't see one for camera

Actually, the screen is all black when I put it on reverse.
Mine used to be intermittent. But now when I go on reverse, my screen is black.
Has anyone found a solution to the black screen? I just wanted money on a camera OEM.
