Voyager rear camera doesn't work- sort of? Need help.
I have a 2004 DSDP. On the way home this past spring from AZ, my voyager AOM 711 rear TV monitor quit working. The screen was black and I could smell a metallic scent. It gets very hot behind the dash with the heat on through the vents plus the heat from the monitor itself so I think it just over time burned out.
I pulled the monitor out and found the 5AMP fuse was blown too. I talked with ASA Electronics who make the monitor and they said over a period of time these monitors can wear out and short. I bought another monitor AOM 713 and put it in and replaced the 5 AMP fuse. They said the old harness should work. The monitor works but now I have no picture from the rear camera. I said sort of because you can see some but is a very poor picture. Basically, you can't make out anything. The manufacturer said to wire in the new harness in that came with the new monitor. I haven't done that yet but am going to do this shortly.
Has anyone had trouble with the rear camera like this? I don't know how I can retrieve the cable through the back cap as it's siliconed in big time. Newmar told me there is a 3 ft cord from the rear camera and is plugged into the main cable that runs to the front monitor.
Your input would be appreciated.
