side rear camera removal

[FLYING BUTCH]

I need to remove the side rear view camera from my 04 Beaver. It looks like I have to remove the entire mirror! Anyone done this?? Appreciate any help

Can you offer some further information? Is the camera built into the mirror or does it hang under it? Can you tell me the model of the camera or who makes it?

I have the side mirrors in the cameras by RAMCO.....there was a bad connector when I first got the coach and the shop dropped the mirror arm to get to the connector but put it right back on.

Sorry for the delay-been traveling. The camera is mounted in and under the mirror arm. It has Intex printed on the side of it but talking with Beaver in Oregon they tell me it is infact a Weldex. I called Intex and tech said he thought the camera would withstand the 24 voilts it recieved (long story given wrong voltage battereis?) he said to check the monitor. Try switching the camera imputs into my Alladin system and see if it is infact the camera and not the monitor. No clue where these connections are. I am going to see if taking the dash cover off will let me see where they are. Hope it is not the monitor as I would guess it would be a lot more expensive than the camera. If I can figure out how to get the camera out of the mirror arm I can see it it is getting power?? Still don't see how the mirror comes off??? Thanks in advance for any ideas

Not as familiar with Weldex as I am with others but, if they are like the others an over voltage should not affect the camera. Usually the camera get its voltage and it's regulated from the monitor. I'd start there.

I was able to find a very small screw that allowed me to remove the camera. I talked with Intec tech and he was under the same thoughts you were about the monitor, I am sending him the camera to test. I hope it is the camera as the monitor looks like tough to get out and most likely much more expensive to have repaired??? Thanks for your reply
