The wiring harness (Honda part #32109-t6z-aoo) between the lift gate and the truck bed for the backup camera is subject to premature failure. My 2018 Ridgeline backup camera quit, and when I did research on the Ridgeline blogs, I found this is a very common problem. The harness itself is surprisingly wimpy for a Honda product.
