Factory back-up camera video display is messed up

Suddenly my factory back-up camera has a messed up video display. Most of the time it shows the video but is 'rolling' like an old TV with poorly tuned rabbit ears. Sometimes when I put it in reverse the video comes up fine, mostly it doesn't.

Took apart the connections inside the tailgate and at the tailgate to truck plugs. They were clean and dry and all pins were straight. Didn't help anything.

Is my camera going to hell? Is is a problem elsewhere? It's winter here so there may be moisture somewhere. Maybe some got into the camera module itself?

What can I do to diagnose things further?

Thanks,
Rob

Well, three days of it working OK now. I'm going to guess there was moisture somewhere, though it wasn't in the connectors I took apart inside the tailgate or where the wires go under the box. Either connectors somewhere else under the vehicle or inside the camera module itself, apparently.
