Where is the front camera?

[Laxing22]

Got an error this morning "the front camera was obstructed" and cash prevent was disabled. Windows were pretty frosted, but no idea where the front camera is to clean it.

It's attached to the windshield above the rear view mirror. If you look at the windshield from the outside, you'll see an opening in the black finish with the camera lens behind it, right in the center, at the top of the arc where the passenger-side wiper cleans.

Frost does that frequently on mine - just have to give it a few minutes of drive time with defrost on - ice takes a bit longer - Wish there was an aux heater around it - then again hate for another way for a battery to drain ....

I've had the message with a clean windshield as well, and did some investigation. Very bright lights shining directly into the camera, or an IR beam from a security camera can cause it. I've seen the message three times at night on the same stretch of road in an area with a high density of businesses with security cameras, and it has happened nowhere else. The error goes away immediately after leaving that area.

got in the truck yesterday afternoon on a corndog run, and got the message "camera not available, contact your dealer".......said okie dokie and drove home, speed limit signs all read normally, my back up camera worked fine when i got home. so i chalked it up to a gremlin

Happened a lot in my '22 hybrid lariat - two dealerships, 1st had no idea, the second realigned the camera/windshield and has worked ever since.

Well we were going down the road at 60 mph and a car passed me and immediately a mesg came on the dr. screen that said something like camera not available and sensors were blocked...had no Idea that our new 2025 XLT had the front crash feature, but glad I do...

I have had frost, bird poop, a big cricket, and a couple of shipping blankets I was using for hail padding, trigger that warning. It happens.
