For your 2016 Ford F-350, the Truck Bed Cargo Camera for 8" Factory Monitor - Switch Kit # 3460006 is the correct fit. I reached out to their tech and he said since you are getting the switch over to a black screen it simply sounds like you aren't getting 12v power to the camera for it to sent the signal back. You will want to use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the black power wire going to that camera and then trace that wire to determine why power is not getting to the camera. It most likely is a connection issue.
