Parking sensor question

In the last few weeks, my parking sensors seem to disable themselves at random. I'll look down and see the orange light on, and when I press the button, it stays orange. After re-starting the engine, all is fine.


Maybe loose wiring somewhere?

It likely is a failing sensor.

Next time it does it, shut truck off, turn ignition back on ( do not start ), put parking brake on, put in reverse. Go to the back and listen very closely to each sensor, if you here one clicking very fast, it typically is the failed sensor.
