does the (off) light stay on??
and if so can you turn it off and back on, and get the light to go out?
try backing up near a wall 4-5' and cycling the switch.
let me know what you find out.
remember the gap between the prox sensor, and the plastic housing they are in, must be free.
If it has rained recently where you are, water can cause problems also.
they also only work in when vehicle is in reverse (figured you knew that, but just to be sure)

sounds as if you have dirt in the gap.
pressure washer will sometimes blast them out, or air hose.
if not you will have to pull them out and wipe them off and put them back.
(there really not suited for off road use)

I have the F250 fuse and wiring diagrams, but the pdf file is too large to post here in FTE. Send me an email at clevelandp@bek.com, and I'll reply with the pdf file for you.
EDIT:
Upon looking over the diagrams, the only potential reference I can find is the Parking Aid Module. might be what you need, but might not be, too. You're still welcome to the file.

Are you saying the sensors must be installed in the bumper to test? I have been working on mine and just pulled them all out and replace each one with a new sensor and they still don't work.
Buy the way I also have an 04 scab 4x4 Lariat

It's that time of year, rushing around 24 hours a day and not paying attention to what I read.
I mounted mine at the top of the windshield right beside the rear view mirror.
I used a GPS suction mount in order to do this.

Thanks! Good info. I had looked at those before, and wondered how the picture quality was, etc.
I have been considering getting a new mirror with monitor biult in, etc....I'll have to check these out!
