> [@andyrt0910\_151205](#): > > 2020 Chevrolet Silverado This issue–whatever its cause might be–is clearly a warranty-related problem. Any attempt by you, or by anyone other than the dealership’s service department could lead to voiding of the warranty coverage. Have your friend make an appointment with the service department, and allow them to rectify the problem. ---

Trip to dealer, should be under warranty. ---

A damaged or missing tailgate won’t be covered by the warranty. Is the tailgate up and latched? ---

It could be dirt or something on the sensor. Trailer ball might set it off. ---

Let’s keep it simple, guys. @andyrt0910_151205, tell your friend to take it to the dealer for a warranty inspection. Let us know if there are any complications after the dealer diagnosis. ---

There’s no signal from the camera. Either a wiring issue or the camera itself has failed. Neither is the owner’s problem since it’s under warranty.
