I saw you link this video on Reddit and finally bit the bullet to try to find a solution to the dreaded "Return to Dealer" error message that plagued me for years. I was able to perform the replacement on my 2014 in about 1 hour with the caveat that I broke the two exterior screw housings when I made the final yank of the housing off the rear of the car. I am still not sure how you were able to remove the housing so cleanly but I am still incredibly happy with the improvement.

Thank you Bob! Great step by step video! Was able to replace my father in laws camera doing the same thing as yours in the video. Saved almost $900 vs the dealership quote! Appreciate you!

Thanks Bob. Followed your step by step process to replace my bad camera on my 2016 Fusion Titanium . Saved myself tons of cash & time. I also used the link to Amazon to order part. I was able to swap it out in less than an hour. The end results are positive. The wife is happy…”Happy Wife, Happy Life” 😄😄

So glad to hear this!

For all those that have a 2013 Ford Fusion and want a Ford OEM camera, the camera from the MKZ can also be used in the Fusion as well (per Ford). Much cheaper also. Ford Part# EP5Z-19G490-A. Most sites only list the Ford # ES7Z-19G490-A as the only option for Fusions. An aftermarket option is TRQ brand Part# ADA05221.(these all have the green/yellow/red boxes and guidelines) Hope this helps.

Man.. i cant thank you enough for this. The dealer wanted $600 for the replacement and I just did it in 30 mins for free. Much appreciated for sharing this!

Great Video! I was able to replace the camera in my 2016 fusion in a little over an hour thanks to you. I did not have that ratcheting wrench and I wish I would have. Thanks again!

@daveboteler6211 awesome! Glad this helped! I was shocked at the price difference. I have been seeing it more and more and when I do I make a video!

Thanks for the video. Much appreciated. Clear and concise. A couple more screws and push clips and you can get that whole trunk lid liner entirely of the way.

Bob thanks for this video. I actually have a 2013 Fusion SE but the instructions you provided here worked perfectly for me. I bought a good quality camera on Amazon for $60. The dealership quoted me $620 for the part (yes, that is not a misprint!). Then there would have been labor on top of that! In about 1.5 hours, I followed your instructions and had the camera replaced! Thanks for this great tutorial!

Hi, is the $60 amazon camera good quality? I need to replace mine but i want to make sure that the quality is acceptable

@Bobsgaragetech

It’s comparable to all the other cameras I would assume the QC may not be as good but who’s knows nowadays. I’m sure they are all being made out of the same factory..

Thanks for the detailed and easy to understand instructions. Would it work the same with 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid SE?

@Bobsgaragetech

It would be similar.. same idea just have to see where all the connection points are for each trim piece..

Good job

Thanks!

This was probably one of the most in-depth helpful guides for us Fusion/MKZ owners who have this issue. I drive a 2013 Lincoln MKZh while its mostly the same car as a Fusion the body panels can be different. Would installation be similar? Also did you have to configure the new camera with your MyFord system?

@Bobsgaragetech

4 ай бұрын

I’m sure installation is similar, that being said I have never done one so I would have to look at it and see what’s different if anything. This camera was plug and play I have never heard or had to program a camera in the handful of cameras repairs I have done.

Thanks Bob. I replaced mine with the exact one you have but my camera isn't centered. Is there any way to correct this?

@Bobsgaragetech

I have no idea without looking at it to see exactly what it is doing. Some things to check. 1. Make sure it is fully seated in the camera bezel. 2. Make sure the camera hold down is also fully seated and screwed back down. 3. Second does the camera look different or damaged compared to the camera removed. 4. Maybe try returning the camera to Amazon and getting a new camera. If this all doesn’t fix the issue it may need to be looked at by a professional technician to diagnose further. Thanks again!! 🙏🙏

Thanks for the great video! What would you consider a reasonable price if I were to have a workshop do it?

@Bobsgaragetech

Honestly it depends on what the book time is to replace the camera. If the book time says 1.5hr labor than your paying their labor rate for 1.5hrs. Hold the shop to the book time. Get a couple quotes so you know you’re getting a fair price.

@@Bobsgaragetech I replaced the camera last week and it works fine now. Thanks again for the video. I’d say the hardest part is getting the whole piece out and putting it back in. It looks way easier in your video😄

Just installed it in my mom's 2013 Ford Fusion, but now the camera is always on. What'd I do wrong?!

No idea, that is a crazy symptom something is telling the radio to switch on the video feed. Could be the wrong camera? My recommendation is to pull that camera back out so you can have your radio back. You may need someone to professionally diagnose the issue.
