It sounds like maybe the camera is not turning on. Where did you connect the camera's power input wire?

If it's black with snowing lines then the camera is possibly messed up. If it's just pitch black then the power wire to the camera isn't hooked up to a good or suficient source. From what I understand, a camera needs to be hooked up to the truck's accessory wire, a switch (generally the rear tail light or even a reverse wire in the cab), and a ground.

I hooked the power wire into the backup light. I'm going to re install the power cable again and see if that helps. Thanks guys
