    Have you tried changing the bulb for a new one?

    I'd guess that there is electrical resistance somewhere (bad connection) in the circuit. When the bulb is working there is probably a voltage drop, making the voltage too low for the camera and sensors.

    If you have a meter, check for voltage at the camera with and without the bulb lighting.

    Old post revival. Mayomick did you ever get this issue fixed? I have the same issue on a Mazda 5, 2011. Reversing light and sensors are intermittently not working.
