I checked all the fuses today and they are fine. At the same time, we tried the "secret menu" (Radio off, hold Menu button while spinning the volume knob). Once in the secret menu, an online video said to touch the upper, left-hand arrow to do a factory reset. [There were only two clickable menu items, which I didn't touch, as the video was only about doing a factory reset.] When we did that, after a few moments, the camera was activated! But once we touched Menu, then returned to camera, it was blacked out again. While driving home, we put the vehicle into reverse and the rear camera mysteriously activated - momentarily.
Additional Information: The Platinum trim has a sunroof. I park it under a tree. I had been using a cover for it, but I guess not religiously. I get a lot of rain where I live. Right now, very little. But about 5 months ago, I had some water dripping in on the front passenger side. I had the sunroof drain cleared, but I didn't dry out/replace part of the carpet fast enough. So, around that time, after having had the drain cleared, I started the vehicle one day and noticed an odd mark on the screen. When I turned the heater on high, the mark disappeared. That problem hasn't re-occurred in the past 4 months. Is it possible some of the connectors behind the screen got corroded from the high levels of humidity at the time?
