Reverse Vehicle Sensor
Anyone have any problems with this thing? We had some icy weather yesterday and my sensor was giving a solid tone when in reverse. I thought that it may have just been ice on the sensors, but when I checked, the sensors were clear. Late today, the problem seemed to fix itself. Could ice have formed inside the sensors? Anything I may be missing?

You may want to do a forum/site search on this. I recall that there were some comments about ice forming inside the sensors (this may have been on other vehicle types vs. the SD). Ice on the outside does the same thing I believe.

I have a "red-neck back-up alarm"---a chrome cowbell on my hitch and it never freezes---and costs a lot less.

Ours is an outside truck and the sensors only work 5% of the time.

Mine apparently freezes up too. Usually when accompanied by a snow fall, the sensors stay on. The first time, it spooked me as I thought I was about to have a collision, like a kid or something. Have since accepted the fact that I just gotta turn it off in cold snowy weather.

Yea, the round button just over the upfitter switches and integrated trailor brake controler (if equipped). It has a "P" and an arrow. Just push it once and it will bipass the sensors. Push it again and it turns back on.
