Right Side Camera Not Showing Up?

After doing some work on the car the right side mirror camera is not feeding video any longer. It's just black on that side. Any ideas how to make it work again? Is this something that needs to be programmed are the dealership?

This happened to me once, and it turned out that some mud was completely covering the lens. Maybe you already checked for that, but my first thoughts were much more technical in nature and I spent a few hours researching potential causes for camera failure and, well, it was just some mud.

No, it wasn't dirty. I made an appointment to bring it to the dealer. Thanks for the tip though!
