    Hello! I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions regarding my issue. I recently installed the Anytime camera kit for my 2023 Tacoma. I completed the installation with no issues. It was working perfectly fine until an hour later I turned on the car and the front camera was now showing a black screen. The rear camera is fine in reverse and with the switch. I checked all the wiring and grounds and everything seems to be connected. I'm not sure how it could be working one moment and not the next. I have seen many troubleshooting convos on Tacoma world but none with this specific problem. Any ideas?

    I wonder if reversing the yellow wires behind the deck will tell you if the front camera works when in reverse mode. Other than that its gotta be a ground issue somewhere.

    Also I dont remember if a ground wire had to be used behind the switch on the dash. It's been to long..

    I did just that and found the problem was I cut the purple wire. Called Brian over at Anytime Cameras and he said that was the problem. Patched it up and now it's working perfectly. Thanks for your help.
