2017 F150 XLT Backup Camera Blue Screen

I've done about everything I can think of to try and fix the blue screen when I put my truck in reverse. It started messing up intermittently then I updated to Sync 3 and it's always blue when putting it in reverse now.

Here's what I have done:
  1. Bought a new rear camera from Ford...installed, blue screen still.
  2. Checked pigtail at camera for power...yep its getting power. Fuse 113 also good. Sprayed out pigtail with connector cleaner, did the same with the connector that is right faster the tailgate by spare tire.
  3. Connected the camera up and backstabbed the ground wire with another wire that I took to the frame...camera worked and displayed on my screen correctly when ground jumped.
  4. Checked all grounds I could find, took them off, sanded both surfaces and reconnected... blue screen
  5. Ran Forscan and reset multiple modules, did the LIN calibration, enabled/disabled rear camera...blue screen
  6. Took battery off for 1 hour for reset on truck...blue screen
  7. Tried to install Sync3 update again from USB...blue screen
I'm out of ideas here...HELP!

If you having issues wit blue screen, the camera gets its ground from the open shield wire in the harness (which easily corrodes off), I just connected the black ground wire on the camera to the black/yellow ground wire on the tailgate light with a short jumper wire, it fixed my problem
