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 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.

I hear ya. Mine sees my hitch ball even without the trailer. It would be nice to selectively disable the thing for as long as I wanted.
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.
