reverse sensor disable switch

has anyone figured out a way to disable the reverse sensors by maybe adding a switch to turn off power so it does not constantly go off while plowing and the sensors are snow covered?
i thought maybe by just unplugging the switch would do it, but that did not work.
truck is an 02 diesel with auto trans.

you don't have an option to disable it?


I can in the menu for mine. It will stay disabled till I shut the truck off.

yea, i do. after you put the truck in reverse hit the button. but once you take it out of reverse it cancels the shut off function, and you have to hit the button every time you put it in reverse.

I read this for a 02 Excursion. find the speaker for the back up alarm and remove the panel. cut the green wire and install an on and off switch. the alarm will still be working, you just cant hear it.

Thats what I remember seeing someone here do as well. I think they put the switch right by the speaker itself as well.
