If your backup camera does not work, flickers, stops working in the rain, blinks in and out, you have tried everything else... Here is how I replaced the camera.
I figured it was my camera because it was intermittent, when it was raining it quit working, and it flickered, and was always dim.
Difficulty: 3/5
PITA: 4/5
Chances you will break something: Almost 99.7%
Tools/items you will more than likely need:
-small bladed screwdriver
-10mm deep well socket
-10mm through bolt socket
-13mm socket
- T30 Torx bit, a screwdriver will work but you might need some real umph to remove the two bolts for the power liftgate if you have it.
-interior trim popper
-Vise-Grip pliers
-Adjustable wrench, has to be a rather big one for the nut on the window wiper
-Plastic Epoxy
-long Needle nose pliers
-silicone or latex silicone
First I would recommend starting here: it is not a repair for the OE one in the rear trim piece with the license plate lights, but it gets you part way there with the removal of the interior lift-gate panels..

If you have the power liftgate, then you also have to remove the two bolts on the left side of the lisfgate.
