Electrical help - side mirrors, rear camera all out
Posted: Thu Aug 11, 2022 1:17 pm
Hello everyone,
I’ve done what I can think of to figure out what’s wrong here. Hoping somebody has been through this before.
Problem: after several years of working properly, both side mirrors (motion and heat) as well as the inside rear view mirror camera image and compass are dead.
Problem solving so far:
1. No power at mirror 4-way switch
2. No power at the Born Free added fuse panel by the brake pedal. This is a 4-slot panel with 5,5,10,15A fuses.
3. No blown fuses (box shaped ones) in the under-hood fuse/relay box which is where I presume BF tied their 4 slot box into.
4. Pulled and swapped the #8 relay (upfitter relay) with a relay from the trailer light circuit - no difference.
5. Inspected all box fuses for blown elements. No issues.
5. No visible rodent damage or corrosion.
Any other suggestions ? Also, can somebody confirm that BF tied into the Ford relay box upfitter circuit vs running a wire directly to the battery or some other remote hot spot ?
Any and all input appreciated.
John
