I just bought a used 2006 F150 to which the dealer quoted over $500 to even attempt to trouble shoot the backup sensors that were not working. Offered up an aftermarket back up camera for $150 in place of repairing the factory system. With your video and recommendation to avoid the factory parts counter, ended up with the new backup camera plus repaired the backup sensor system for just under $40. Thank you greatly. I will be checking your posts for other mechanical questions.

Thanks for posting. Fixed my 2003 F250 using this technique. My inner 2 sensors failed after roughly 2 years (circa 2005) and I never bothered to fix the system. Decided to. Ordered a 4 pack of sensors from e-bay for ~ $21 and that included free shipping. So far so good. A couple install notes: On this make model, the inner 2 sensors are slightly more difficult to get access to due to the position of the spare tire support, but still easy. My original part numbers were 3F23-15K859-BA. The replacements were 4F23-15K859-AA but the e-bay website had a make/model checker and reported this was a suitable substitute; i.e. it should fit. Externally all the replacements fit perfectly in the bumper holder and the holding clips worked fine too. The only slight difference was the near the inner sleeve around the 3 power prongs. There was enough of a difference that the power cable didn't slide in and latch like you would expect from OEM, but with a little coaxing, I was able to get it in and latched. I also used a slight amount of dielectric grease for the reassemble. Still working after a couple days. Unless you have significant hearing problems, you don't need any tools or "listening devices" to hear the clicking sounds when troubleshooting. He only used what he did to help shoot the video... Nice job and thanks for taking the time to share it.

Thank you for the informative video. I just bought a "new" 2006 F350. The backup alarm did not work. After watching your video I ordered 4 sensors on ebay for $41.00. After receiving, I tested and discovered only one was bad. I changed it first, problem solved. It took me longer to get my small screwdriver, creeper and flashlight out, than it took to repair the sensor. Thanks again!!!

As I said in the video, the inductance wand I used was to amplify the sound so it could be heard on the video. If you put your ear down to the sensors and cover them (to simulate backing too close to something) you should be able to hear the ticking with the "naked" ear.

+Bill Kelso I did have a sensor fail after about a year. I ordered a 2nd set of 4 (still only $35) but this time I didn't bother with my wand since I discovered how easy it is to simply swap the sensors. I decided to replace 2 and re-tested the system. If it was fixed (and it was) I would keep 2 new ones as spares. If it wasn't fixed, I would roll the 2 I took out with the remaining 2 (and still be able to keep 2 new ones as spares). SO, to your question, 1 of the 4 ebay specials didn't last more than a year.... but I don't know how that compares to "Genuine Ford".

My backup sensors went out about 3 years ago and I took it to the dealer. It cost me $260. What a fool I was. This time, I ordered the parts (set of 4) for $39. I checked out the video and did it myself. As far as I know they replaced one sensor. The first sensor I replaced fixed the problem and now I have three spares for the next time one goes out. It should be against the law for them to charged $260 for a 2 minute job and a $10 part.

DeathScouter.... Thanks for the troubleshooting video on the backup sensors. After watching it, I followed your instructions to check out the sensors. I don't have the amplifier, but was a relatively quiet place when testing. What I found was that I didn't hear anything from ANY of the sensors. I could presume that perhaps all four sensors are bad, but before ordering new ones, I was wondering if and what else I might check just to make sure it not something other than the sensors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks....

You do NOT need the Inductance Tool !! I just find out that you get the same Results with a Cellphone and the (Android) App SUPER EAR OIDO from Liberation Studios. Plug in your Earphones and hold te Microphone of the Cell in Front of the Sensor. Move around a little bit. If the Sensor is Good = you hear a rapid ticking Noise. If not = the Sensor is dead.

I'm trying to install this system on my 2000 explorer. I have the bumper with sensors and I plugged it in to the stock connector. I also plugged in the parking button and rear module. All the wiring was already in the truck so it was plug and play. But the switch light is always on "off". The only thing I couldn't find was the speaker for the backup noise. I'm guessing that's what's causing the system to stay off, since the speaker isn't plugged in. I can't find anything on the RSS speaker for a second generation explorer though :/

Individual ones are same price (wow!) on ebay and Rock Auto. There is an ebay auction right now for used ones @ $85/each.

If there is something happening on "one side", then you could try moving the right side sensors to the left, and left to right, and see if the problem follows the sensors or stays. Virtually all backup sensor issues are due to 1/more sensors going bad, so we may do this work without actually fixing something. Would be nice if you had anyone with a similar truck, you could swap sensors as a troubleshooting step, otherwise, you may need to buy a couple and rotate them through until you find the 1 that's broken.

@DeathScouter
@DeathScouter 8 жыл бұрын
+Diane Blomker Did they work for that 1 day? If so, your problem is definitely with the sensor(s) and not any other components. If it worked after changing them all out, you may have had a new sensor blow after the 1st day, which would take the system offline again. If swapping them all out NEVER fixed the problem then let me know what year your Explorer is and I'll try to look up which fuse is for your sensors. If it's not the fuse or the sensors, I would take a look at the wiring or locate the control board.

Allen Traylor If you get your ear close, you can hear the ticking and you don't need the inductance wand. I used that simply to amplify the ticking so the camera picked it up. All 4 sensors work in series which is why 1 bad one takes the entire system offline. For $30-$40 bucks, it might be worth the time savings to buy all new ones and be done with it. If that fixes the problem and curiosity starts getting the better of you, then you can spend some time swapping them out 1 at a time to find out which ones are defective and you may end up with a spare or 2. It all depends on what your time is worth to you.

I only could hear 1 sensor clicking, bought 4 off ebay. 1 was bad out of the box so put old one that was clicking in. Now all 4 click but parking light button still lit. If i press it light goes off for less tha 1 second. Is this a switch or module problem. Thanks for the troubleshooting hints

Sensors are the most common problem. If you swapped the sensors and the system is still "off", then I'd suspect the control module. I've never swapped one, so I can't tell you where to find it. Sorry.

UGH... start with the areas where physical damage could occur. Start with the sensors and work your way back. At some point it will get difficult because the wires will get bundled/taped together and feed into the overall wiring harness running up to the computer. GOOD LUCK.

Hey, 8 years later, how’d those “cheap eBay” sensors hold up? I’m asking because too many people say, “stop being cheap”, “Buy OEM”, “cheap Chinese crap”, and all kinds of dumb shit. Wanna know how those sensor held up.

I don't know if you'll get this or not but if you look in some of the ford forums they'll tell you some trucks had a little speaker independent of the audio system that went bad. I'm gonna bite the bullet and get the ford dealer to plug in and run a scan on the system because all of mine aren't working

@@sammygarcia5909 I haven't done anything further with it but it's either the speaker or the device itself. Either way I believe on the Explorer they are one piece anyways. On excursions & etc I think they are separate so you can replace the speaker or whatever the main device is called.

I'm replacing my bumper but want to reuse my old backup sensors. Does anyone know if it's possible to remove and reuse the backup sensor bumper mount holder?
@DeathScouter
@DeathScouter 8 жыл бұрын
+BARFYADAMS That will likely change per vehicle. I know on my Jeep Commander, the sensor holders are glued to the (plastic) bumper skirt, so they are incorporated into the bumper design and not detachable. I would suspect that (as with my Ford truck) a plastic holder that is in a steel bumper is probably able to be removed and reused.

Just a follow-up on my "ebay special" backup sensors. Since making this video, I just had 1 of my sensors fail and need to be replaced again. I'm not sure how the quality of my "ebay specials" compare to OEM since I bought the truck used, but the ebay price is STILL $35 for 4 new sensors, so I found and replaced the bad sensor and now have 3 spares.

BARFYADAMS We've had constant rain here (Baltimore) so I didn't spend a lot of time under the bumper looking to how to reuse the mounting holes. As soon as it dries up a little, I'll get back under the truck and see if I can figure out how to remove the mounts.
