Question:
We have been using Our Furion backup camera for the past 3 years. For some reason it has lost signal to the monitor. I have double checked the wiring and it looks like power is going to the camera as the blue light is on. I have also double checked and plugged the camera in the power cord adapter and you do get the picture on the monitor. I have also re-linked the camera to the monitor. When we re-install the camera to the trailer, we are not getting a picture on the monitor. Any ideas on what the issue may be? Thanks

If your Furrion Vision S Camera System # FOS43TASF is working when connected to the monitor wire but not when connected to the rear of the trailer then you most likely have a power issue. The camera needs 12 volts to properly operate but the blue light will activate with less voltage. Most likely the tow vehicle isn't putting enough voltage out to power the entire circuit (lights, camera, etc.) so the camera isn't getting enough voltage to actually operate and pair to the monitor correctly. You can check this with a multimeter # PT89ZR at the camera.
To solve the power issue you'll just need to splice in a PWM Filter # VGR64VR behind the camera to provide a constant 12 volts. This filter comes with butt connectors already on the wires so it's a very simple installation. I've attached a short video below where I'll walk you through the process.
