backup alarm stays solid on beep

The backup alarm comes on solid in reverse like I'm about to hit something. The sensors are clean and the truck bumper is spotless. Does this mean one of the sensors needs replacing? The truck is a 2011 F350. Thanks for any help.

I'd say that would be a good place to start.

Agree, but at least check the connections and your wiring for continuity before replacing parts

Agreed with both. Its usually a sensor. If you apply the parking brake and put it safely into reverse go behind truck and put your ear up to each sensor. Truck doesnt need to be running but the ignition needs to be all the way on. You should be able to here a buzz. The one (or two) not buzzing is the bad one. But do check the wire connector cavity for corrosion, and shorts first.
