R1T rear bumper camera wiring harness

[Laythe22]

My wire to the rear camera has been accidentally severed, and now all of my cameras are off-line. Looking for a recommendation of how to either repair it or replace the wiring harness without going to the service center.
Service center experience has been horrible. They schedule Months in advance, keep my truck forever and charge me a fortune. Thank you in advance.

Yeah, i went through that as well. I'm surprised if your Rivvy hasn't all but shut down. The software is such that Rivians decide to fail completely if there is any hardware error, rather than degrading gracefully.

Anyway, my first R1T came from salvage so I know what you are talking about. Access is best by removing the truck bed liner. It's heavy, but easy to remove and reinstall. If you are nimble, you can also get in by removing the rear underside panel.

The cable harnesses (on gen 1 at least) are nothing exotic. You should be able to find the severed ends and patch easily enough. I recommend those marine rated shrink solder seal butt connectors. My camera was OK, but I did similar for the radar and sonar sensors on my first R1T and it worked fine. Share a pic if the camera has some sort of ribbon cable and we will find a way to patch.

All the best.
