Camera in rear view mirror

[rydfree]

Just bought a 22 Ranger STX.. There appears to be a diagonal red line or string inside the pre collision camera housing. (also a piece of paper or a loose tag can be seen from inside the cab, inside the camera housing louvers. Thoughts?

a couple times I had ice covering the top of my windshield and the sensor was clear so I'm 99.9% sure it's a defroster plus it looks like the defroster lines on the back window

The white tag is the parts label on the wiring harness under the housing - just push it back in with a trim tool or credit card.

I first saw the line on my Ranger and thought “Great, whatever the line is partially fell down. Just look at how crooked it is”. Truck ran fine so I never lost any sleep or bothered to call service department.

if i had a dollar for every time someone asked about this line, or called it a defroster element, I would be driving an F150 limited and not have to come back here and shake my head repeatedly in astonishment.

But then we would miss you.

Well, Ford should have addressed it in the manual. Even in this thread there are at least 4 different opinions.

If it was a defrost strip, wouldn't it need to be part of the windshield if you needed to replace it?

no body would miss me....well, not for long anyways.

I am actually having to start to pay more attention to threads because there's quite a few skipped posts I never see because the members with thin skin have blocked me.

Their loss.
