The back up camera on the Suburban stopped working. When the vehicle is placed in "reverse" the radio display is replaced with a dark screen. This happened all at once and prior to this it worked perfectly with a clear image. I suspect it is a wiring issue or the camera itself has failed.
What I need your help with is a wiring diagram for the camera system including the fuse or fuses supplying the system. A "pin out" of the camera electrical connector would be most helpful. I want to make sure I have power to the camera before bringing out the "parts cannon".
Thank you in advance for your reply and for the times you have helped me in the past!

Hello, I'm Danny.

It sounds like there might be an issue with the camera itself. I've attached the wiring diagram you requested below. I've cut the picture into 2 pieces so you can view larger and circled in red the camera. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions on this issue. Thanks for using 2CarPros.

Update: Finally got around to working on Suburban. Using the wiring diagram you provided, I checked for power to camera and had 12 volts. Since we thought it was provably the camera, we had purchased a new one. Installed new camera and yazoo, you can see behind the "beast".

Thanks for your help again! With the diagram you provided, checking for power was simple and quick. Thanks again.
