Backup alarm
Just purchased a used 2000 Exc. Limited and the proximity sensors are not operating correctly. The audible alarm indicates when it is in reverse but the beebs do not increase with a more rapid beep when an object is in close proximity. I've taken the sensors (at leaset 2 of them) out of the rear fender and cleaned the connectors and the lenses all seem to be fairly clean. I have not purchased a shop, manual as of yet, but thought I would run this question through you guys to see if anyone had any bright ideas or have ran across this problem. As we all know the Excursion has fairly poor visibilty to the rear and since mine is lifted 6" it adds to that problem, so I would like to correct this (without taking it to Ford) first, if I can..........

Try Windex to clean them
When mine start acting-up (after rain or storm), sometime I find the the excess water forms a film and cleaning them with windex works.
Also make sure that you clean all 4 of them.
Hope this helps.
