Noticed on my SHO two nights that the image on the reverse camera was blue fuzz. Other times it works fine. I called Ford to make an appointment and my CPO warranty expired on July 31st. I called Ford's 800 number and they too told me I was SOL.
New camera is 350+. Why is it so expensive? You can buy a freakin generic camera off ebay for $20. It's not like it's a 4k Gopro.
DAMN IT!!!! These cars have horrible rear visibility and I pretty much have to rely on a camera.
Sorry to hear. It is possible there are other cheaper cameras that are the same form factor, but simply won't be able to calibrate. So you will get 95% of the functionality right out of the gate.
I would try checking the connections first, may simply need cleaning & greasing.

Such bull$H!T though. I'm not blowing $300+ for a $20 camera. For that much I'll buy a cheap Ebay one and see if I can splice it in and use a license plate frame mounted one.

Believe me, I empathize. This is a huge problem particularly on the 2011 Edge. All pI would say the electronics would need to be compatible. Generic might or might not be compatible but ... Fingers crossed!
See if this camera looks like the one you have

Sorry a bit late to the game but had mine replaced under warranty a while back and all to familiar with the process.
The correct part number is EG1Z-19G490-A and truly understand the part is way over the top as pricing goes and couldnt agree with you more.
I emphasize that part number EA5T-19G490-AA might fit in your case because they surely look identical IMHO considering the circumstances.
I think you may need to get it calibrated with IDS.IIRC. Z

Thanks for the info. Greatly appreciated. I can suck up 50-60$.
Did that camera work?
Haven't swapped it yet. I got pissed and smacked it with my hand and it's been working right ever since...
I have that alternative PN saved and will try it when the time comes.
Whaddya know? Old school! LOL
