Parking sensor woes

I remember seeing a post a while back stating that the reverse sensor would make a clicking noise (when you're ear is up against the sensor) when working properly, I only had one working but I figured I'd replace them all since the 4th one was sure to go out . Fast forward to using two different sets of sensors, and not a single has worked or.maid that clicking noise like I would assume it should be. Can an aftermarket head unit cause these sensors to not work properly or have I just gotten two bum sets? I'm starting to pull my hair out over these damn things.

So, after doing some more diggin aroun the ol' web, it seems the PAM may be bad. Has anyone changed one out, is it even worth doing?

Are you referring to the unit in the cab that makes the beeping sound? If so, I read it is a rather simple swap.

Indeed, that's the one. I've only seen the modules for $200+. Not sure if it's even worth it.
