The system is turning off because it is sensing it has an error, likely a bad sensor as already mentioned previously. ---

I replaced a sensor yesterday because one came apart in two pieces when I was cleaning the connections and greasing them. $140 for one sensor. It seemed to work in the driveway and beeped when I put it in reverse with my dad’s car behind my truck but when I drove it last night the OFF light came on after about a mile of driving forward and now it stays on (the OFF light) all the time. At this point I think Im just going to drop it off at a Ford dealer, probably Metro since its 5 minutes away and let them deal with it. ---

Another issue with these fucking things. Every time I put the truck in reverse the sensors start beeping like theres something behind the truck. I took it to Metro Ford today since they were the ones that fixed it last time and they supposedly cleaned the connections and said it was all good but tonight backing out of the driveway they did the same damn thing. Atleast they didnt charge me but fuck thats annoying when it was supposedly fixed. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/back-up-sensor-issue/260716.md?page=1)
