Replace The Rear Housing of Your Browning Trail Camera.

I replaced the rear housing on my Browning Trail Camera. The unit did not have any instructions. Decided to make the video for others that may have broken the receiver nut on the rear housing. Below is the link to Browning's store where I bought the part. This video is not sponsored by anyone.

The unit was mounted on a DIY tripod. High winds this winter in Madison, Wisconsin blew the rig over and landed on my driveway. The rear housing nut is the only damage the camera received! The trail cam continues to work!

Your video saved me. I broke the latch on a similar Browning and was getting yelled at about how it would be impossible to get the pin out to put the new latch on because it is machine pressed in there. So I watched your video and found a tool to pop it right out. Whew!

Thanks for the video. Interesting on yours is that the two prongs that touch the battery compartment came in your replacement model. In my camera, there are wires attached to those and my replacement did not come with them. I was able to remove the cover and I'm working through this now.

Good luck on the repair. This is the only time I have made this type of repair. Sorry I am no help with your model. Best -Jim

Thank you for posting! Browning should pay you for this! 😁

Thank you for making this video. My lens got covered in tree sap and I had to disassemble it to get it clean.

Good video. I had the exact same issue with that part and came online to find solutions.

Ha. Thanks! Nice of you to leave a comment.

I just discovered that I could buy parts from the Browning website. I have one camera with a busted housing and another with a broken door hinge. I've had trouble getting a screwdriver long enough/large enough to take the housing screws out. It helps seeing the approximate size screw driver you used. I'm also wondering if there is a watch battery inside which maintains the time/date while you are changing batteries or if it is just a capacitor. I've got a couple of cameras that I loose time/date stamp when I change batteries and it's a pain to reset each time.

I only have one camera and this is the only repair I have done. That is a good question. I wish I knew the answer. I did buy the external power cable and connected my camera to a small 12v battery. I use my camera more during the winter months. With the 12v external battery, I can power the camera all winter.

Yo...my battery pack is stuck and I'm wondering if I take off the back casing will I be able to get to the battery pack? (It releases slightly but somethings holding it back)

[@jaescala]

Yikes I might try applying pressure on the battery pack to nudge it out before you take it apart. If all else fails, it may be necessary to disassemble the camera

[@Mookiethedog]

@@jaescala Thanks....I've tugged on the plastic tray to the point I'm worried about snapping off some plastic. I'm a little choked about the whole thing!

[@virginiatrailcameravideos]

Do you know what size screwdriver was needed?

[@jaescala]

Sorry for the delay. It took some time to find that screw driver. Any small Phillips head screw driver should work. The one I used is a PH 0x50. Hope your repair goes smoothly.

Mine has rubber in the holes can't get to head of screws for housing.

[@puffin1139]

Do you know the sizing of those housing screws?

[@jaescala]

I do not. I simply used the ones they send along with the ones in the unit. sorry I am not much help.
