Back-up Sensor
Got a new to me 2002 350 CC LB 7.3 Lariet this summer. Getting ready to head out with the camper for vacation. Anyone know how I can defeat or bypass that darned back-up sensor? Very annoying when backing the trailer into a tight spot that requires some jockeying around. Even pulling a fuse would be ok at this point if it didn't shut down something else.
Please, more importantly it drives my better half nuts and wakes up the baby!
Thanks!

Thanks guys, I know about the defeat button on the dash. Issue is that it defeats it only until you take the truck out of R and then it is live again. So if I pull up 10 ft and the go back to R - BEEEP! since the trailer is there. I would love to install another switch that would just turn the ^*% thing off until I want it back on, not when Ford thinks it should turn back on.

One thing though, if I push the disable button on the dash, it stays disabled until next time I start the truck. Not each time I use reverse. So my '06 seems to be different than your '02. Ford probably got smarter on that. You might want to investigate the difference in model year.
