Front Camera Fault - Service Required

DarwynZ

Welp..... less than 48 hours and 100 miles of ownership and my Big Bend has to go back for service. I keep getting an alternating screen reading "Front Camera Fault" and "Pre-Collision Assist - Not Available"..... As I drive the fault will clear itself and return every few miles. While the fault is active none of the buttons on the steering wheel work and the turn signal does not work.... very very strange. I have a service appointment for Saturday morning, but it anyone has come across this and has an suggestions as to how to fix and save me a trip to the dealer, it would be greatly appreciated.

A trip to the dealer is prudent but it sounds like an intermittent short or loose connection. For shits & giggles I would check the connectors in the front by the camera & the block of sensors right behind the grille. Good luck.

I will take a look when I get out of work today... I didn't notice anything loose when I went to make sure there was nothing obstructing the front of the sensors... but I believe you may be right about a short... really the only thing that explains the steering wheel buttons and turn signals not working at the same time.

Just thinking - others have reported that the 3 bolts that hold the fuse panel under the dash have been loose and this has caused strange electrical issues too. That may be another easy fix for you.

The fuse panel is located under the steering wheel. Simply pull the trim panel forward toward the seat from the top right edge and the panel will unclip and fold forward.

Wow... I will def check that out tonight..., that would be an easy and QUICK fix... and it would be awesome if that was it!!!! Thanks for the idea, I will let you know this evening if that does the trick!

Turns out it was just a loose wire connection to the broncos computer… they fully connected it and haven’t had an issue since…. Took the dealership about 2 hours to diagnose and fix….

My sensors are out. I am not sure if it was a brief hailstorm we had or when the dealership installed my front license plate. All of a sudden I am getting a "Park Fault Aid" on the control panel and an image of the vehicle with and exclamation point on it in the display screen. I tried pushing the button on the side of the radio, but it won't budge. Anyone know what it could be? Dealership said they could take a look, but I'd have to leave it there for a few days to run diagnostics. Hoping it could be something I could fix on my own.
