One time I saw an eclipse. It was weird.

Vehicular victims of the eclipse

Ok so I'm probably getting worked up over nothing, but during the eclipse last week, my truck's backup camera ceased to function.

Seriously.

A few hours prior to the eclipse it was working fine, but during the eclipse - and actually, for the rest of the day as well - the camera would only show this image:

Starting at 8 a.m. the next day, the camera started working fine again and all has been dandy ever since.

But this experience has raised one silly and one serious question:

  • Serious: could there really be any connection between the eclipse and a busted backup camera?
  • Silly: do you think my manufacturer's warranty covers "unexpected damaged from eclipse?"
