I'm hoping someone can at least point me in the right direction for this. Bought the truck used. A week after I got it I went through a car wash and about a mile down the road the rear parking sensors went out. The next day they were back on. Now it's gotten to where when I just drive down the road they go off and on. Every time they go off the truck dings at me. At first I thought it was water related, but now it happens rain or shine, wet or dry, at all times of day or night. While I can not figure out exactly what makes them go off and on, it does appear that they go off mostly when I am slowing down or stopping. However, if they are on I may stop at a dozen stop lights before it dings, or like this morning it dinged at me four different times while on cruise control on the highway at 65MPH steady.
I've replaced all four sensors, and the wiring between the sensors and the main wiring harness. I've cleaned the main wiring plug with electrical cleaner, and attempted to heat shrink the entire plug to ensure no water can get in it. I've re-taped the wiring for about six inches in each direction of the main wiring plug to try and stiffen up the wires in case one is loose / broken. I've examined the wiring as much as I can and can find no loose wires, no damaged wires, and no place the wiring harness isn't secured to the frame like it's supposed to be.
When I check the sensors while they are in error it is always the drivers side inner sensor that doesn't click. The other three will be clicking away. Swapping the sensors does not move where the failure is. It's always that one sensor location.
Anyone got some ideas on how to track down where the fault is in this issue?
Thank you
