Reversing Camera Not Working? Check These Genuine Causes — Ford Puma Rear Bumper
If your Ford Puma's reversing camera has stopped displaying an image when you select reverse, it's genuinely worth working through the simple, common causes before assuming the camera itself has failed. Start with the dedicated fuse for the camera circuit — a blown fuse is a straightforward, inexpensive fix. Next, check that the reverse light switch is functioning correctly, since many camera systems are wired to activate directly from the reverse light circuit; if the reverse lights themselves aren't illuminating, that's your actual starting point rather than the camera. Finally, inspect the wiring harness and connectors near the tailgate for damage or a connection that's come loose — this area sees repeated flexing every time the tailgate opens and closes, and a connector working itself loose over time is a genuinely common, simple cause.
Ford Puma Rear Bumper: More Than Just a Plastic Panel
The Ford Puma's rear bumper carries more hardware than older cars used to — parking sensors, a reversing camera housing, occasionally exhaust trim finishers — which is exactly why even a minor kerb knock can mean more than just ordering a replacement panel.

Ford Puma Rear Bumper: What It Does
Beyond absorbing minor impacts, the rear bumper on higher trims of the Puma often houses parking sensors, a reversing camera, and sometimes integrated exhaust finishers. A bumper that looks compatible can still be missing the correct cutouts or wiring provisions for your specific trim's equipment.
