I have a 2002 Explorer Ltd. My backup sensor is acting up. Whenever I shift into reverse, the shut-off rocker switch on the dash activates, and the sensor is being switched off. The dealer told me that they have to do a diagnosis first, which will cost me $ 80.00, and then they can tell me what is wrong. I am in no way a mechanic, but to me it sounds like a switch problem. Is there anybody that can help me?
