Troubleshooting Furrion Wireless Observation System Has No Power to Pair the System

Updated 01/16/2020 | Published 03/18/2018

Question:

I plugged my Furrion monitor and camera in for the first time to pair the system. I do not have power to either. I unplugged them, plugged in my phone charger and I have power to the lighter. Why do I not have power? Am I doing something wrong?

Since you have power at the 12V outlet, you will to make sure you have power getting to the camera itself. When using a system like the # FOS43TASF you will need to make sure your camera is getting 12V power. If you have the prewired RV Trailer, the power to the camera will only be sent when you are shifted into reverse. That camera is wired into the reverse light function of your trailer. You can change this to the running light if you want to splice into that wiring for function anytime your running lights are on your trailer.

I have a furrion wireless back up camera on my 5th wheel. Lets start out with the camera worked good up until today. The screen will not power up. Checked screen power cord with dvom and getting 12.6 volt.s to screen unit. The light on left side is not lit up anymore and the unit does not come on ? The camera on the rear of the 5th wheel is powering up has blue lights lit. Is there a eternal battery in said screen unit? Or internal fuse? Any ideas or suggestions?Serial number on unit is 652v02-052015-1-00308

It sounds like you are getting power to the camera at the back of the camper(which is a good sign). There's two things that could be happening. You might trying plugging the power cord for the screen into another 12V outlet just to rule out that the current outlet you are using is not the problem. If that doesn't work I would try parking another vehicle close to the rear of the fifth wheel camper, plug in the screen and see if the distance is affecting the reading. And if none of this works I would reach out to Furrion to see if they've had a case like this before and they can walk you through what to do.
