On the Ka+, a non-working reversing camera is often just a fuse or loose connector rather than a genuine failure.

A Reversing Camera Fault Often Has a Genuine, Simple Cause — Ford Ka+ Rear Bumper

If your Ford Ka+'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 Ka+ Rear Bumper: More Than Just a Plastic Panel

The Ford Ka+'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.

Before you buy: bumper specification varies significantly by trim, particularly around parking sensor cutouts and camera housings. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Ford Ka+ Rear Bumper: What It Does

Beyond absorbing minor impacts, the rear bumper on higher trims of the Ka+ 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.
