I don't see them in the bumper like Expy's past. Where does Ford locate them now?

Its a sonar type system behind the bumper I believe. Not nearly as accurate as the older style.

Works like a champ everytime. not sure why yours isn't maybe time for a warranty visit. Mine works down to the inch.

The sensors are located behind the rear bumper cover, looks much better then the holes cut in the bumper before.

the sensor is directly behind the rear bumper in the center above the hitch I believe. A while back when Someone rear ended me it put a hairline crack in it and they replaced it. That one sensor, granted it weighs about 15 lbs, was like $750 and of course no in stock so they had to order it.

It is a millimeter wavelength radar unit. It should have been a camera! Better and cheaper, if you have the nav system.

I have both the camera and the radar. They work well together. If you didn't get the camera at least you have something to help you out.

I had a 05 F150 with the button style that worked much faster. The response time is very slow on this unit.
