In this video I show you how I permanently fixed the rear reversing camera on my ML-Class W164 Mercedes Benz for FREE ... well perhaps one dollars worth of consumables were used!
Specifically I am demonstrating this on my 2011 Mercedes ML300 which has had an intermittent fault for a few weeks, where sometimes the reverse camera has lines through it and at other times it is completely black. This video will also apply to ML320, ML350 and the GL series wagons.
Tools used in this video are:
* Flat Screwdriver
* Easy Stripper (amzn.to/2ZGT2bF)
* Soldering Iron (amzn.to/3a1J8Dy)
Consumables Used in this video are:
* Solder
* Heat Shrink
* Matches
Previously I have fixed this problem in this video • Mercedes ML Rear Rever... however after a year or so the problem has re-occurred and thus why in this video I am doing a permanent fix to the problem.

@supertitan21 Год назад

I had the same problem. I just soldered the wires together and it’s working perfectly. One quick fix is to open the back door and close it again it would always fix the issue for a while

Thank you for the video Drew. I will be attempting this fix on my X166 GL class soon. The issue is too similar for the cause to be any different.

@DrewFixIt 2 года назад

Hi Srikanth, my camera has not glitched once since doing this!! Cheers Drew

Hello! Did you fix this problem on GL166? Is the problem the same as in the video? I also get stripes sometimes.

Another great video Drew ! Thanks ! I don't have a camera on my 2011 ml300, have purchased one along with a new android unit. There is a blank plate where the camera should be, do you think it could be pre wired ? how awesome would that be !

@DrewFixIt Год назад

Hi Sean, my guess is that there would be pre-wiring that you could potentially reuse for the system that you have purchased. That’s certainly what is typical of manufacturers! Cheers Drew

@@DrewFixIt Thanks Drew, will look into it ! do you have any advice on how to remove the part on the trunk with the licence plate lights and handle ? I unscrewed two torx screws on it but it doesn't come out.

@DrewFixIt Год назад

@@mrdarthmoke hi Sean, I think from memory once you have the inner rear door skin off you can undo screws from the inside. Check Drew

@@DrewFixIt Spot on Drew !! Thanks a lot !! did the installation last night, phone in one hand checking your video every now and then !! Unfortunately no pre wiring so had to run it from trunk to dash. Quite chuffed with the result !! thanks again for toise great videos ! they are so helpful !

@Digole Год назад

my gl350 had the same problem, but I didn't think the problem on the connector, today I tried your way to re-crimp the inserts on the connector, now the back video is on. I will update if the video goes off again

@DrewFixIt Год назад

Yep, these connectors are rubbish! I honestly know how Mercedes have got away with not doing a recall 🤬🤬🤬 Cheers Drew

I have the same on my ml63 black screen when reverse gear activated.. yesterdag everything works well and now its black😔 did you think this is the same.problem

@DrewFixIt 2 года назад

Hi Muskie, quite possibly you have the same problem! Give the back door a few taps just above the camera with your hand and see if it comes back temporarily? Cheers Drew

My camera is pointed way down and the screen is hard to see with polarized sunglasses. Anyone have this issue?

Perhaps you have aftermarket parts? Cheers Drew

@DrewFixIt 2 года назад

Hi Mate, sorry to hear you spent $1500 replacing the entire harness. I don't want to depress you, however the sad part about it is the new harness still has the same junk connector. Cheers Drew
