Hey there!
I have a 2012 Avalanche… keep having issues with wires breaking around the tailgate which makes the backup camera not work. Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions on what to do to prevent it?
 
I have not read of the wires breaking very often, usually happens when damaged in a wreck or some kind of heavy use or corrosion. Where are the wires breaking? Inside, under vehicle or near the sots where the wires go into tailgate etc.?
 
I have this problem and found some of the insulation worn off of the wires and a broken wire or two. I made repairs, but the problem reoccurs. I can sometimes get it to work by moving the wire chase around between the tailgate and the truck, but it's a crapshoot.

I cannot find the wiring harness online that connects to the camera wires in the tailgate and the plug just in front of the rear bumper.
