Reverse Alarm
I have a reverse alarm on my truck, when I shift into R, an audible alarm outside the truck starts beeping (like a UPS truck). Does anyone know how to turn that thing off/disable it? Can't find any reference to it in the owners manual.
Thanks

The only way to turn off the back-up alarm is to physically unplug it. You will find the alarm mounted on the frame back by the spare tire. More info can be found in the following thread...

can not use info center to turn it off you can only turn off the reverse aid but not the back up alarm also it is sooooo loud it can be heard even with windows up. I put in reverse with a upd driver next to me and he said it startled him and could not believe how loud it was......
but, if you asked for it, why would you want to turn it off?!
I know.. cause you don't want it ALL the time..

Upfitter Switch
I'm looking for a way to ARM and DISARM the backup alarm using upfitter switches. There are times I want it "ON", such as busy parking lots, and times I want it "OFF". Like a campgound w/o trailer in tow.
If you have pictures, or install procedures.... PLEASE POST.. Maybe in a new Post...

That was an easy fix, unplugged and taped it up. If anyone does hook theirs up to the upfitter switches, please post up pics or the how to. I would like to have the option to turn it off and on from the cab.

all you need to do is run a power wire from a upfitter switch to the rear of the truck. Install a relay that when you put power to it, it will connect the reverse alarm to the stock wiring, thus turning on the relay. Or you could wire it so that when you flip the upfitter switch, it will shut off the alarm. Real simple.
