Question:

Installed camera exactly according to instructions. Started truck, placed in reverse, only blue screen on camera. Sensors work at first, but now not working. ?? Am I doing something wrong ?

It sounds like there was power loss to the camera/sensor part of backup camera # HM60195VA. Check the wiring connections to see if something came loose or if a better connection to the reverse light circuit is needed.

If the reverse lights on the vehicle are LED then that could be the issue. LED lights draw such little power that there may not be enough current. The reverse light circuit in the tow package wiring would be a better option.
