Side camera "no signal" 2016 AI

[Njg]

Sorry for all of the recent questions! I also on my last trip noted, while driving, that the left side view camera stopped working giving a "no signal" error message when turning on the right side turn signal. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? Still under warranty but dealership is over 2 hours away.. Thanks in advance!

Had the same problem with drivers side camera, AirStream replaced the camera, under warranty, only problem... seems that warranty items are always two to three week out.

Jim Parrett at Airstream gave me a call in another issue and mentioned that you can access the control box for the rear and side view cameras by removing the center overhead lights between the driver and passenger seat. This is done by sitting in the passenger seat and pressing on the plastic light surround toward the driver seat while also pulling downward. I found the wire for my driver side camera completely disconnected. Screwed it back in and now it works perfectly. Thanks Jim!

Thanks for that bit about removing the light. I have always tried from the drivers side and stopped because of the chance of breaking it. There was an annoying rattle (one of many) coming from that area. I didn't think there could be that many wires and plugs in one place.
I hope the noise was the bundle of an extra two - three feet of cable banging on top of the plastic housing. A few wire ties took care of it.
