Front parking sensors

[Thoref]

Does anyone know if it is a way to turn off the 2 middle front parking sensors? Can it be done with AlfoOBD? Can I disconnect them in any way? I have a bull bar right in front of them, and I do not want to turn off all 4 of them, just the 2 in the middle.

Your can't be done at least to my knowledge. Parking sensors are an all or none type of thing

Ranch hand sells an accessory "sensor caps" that will turn off any sensor. I use them on the front of my 2016 1500 where my grille guard sets them off and the rear of my 2020 3500 where the trailer hitch sets them off.

Their caps have circuitry that fools the sensor

Mount them on the side of the light bar?

Yes, those are they

Yes, those are they

I ordered two of those. Since I live in Noeway, it will take some time before I get them. I really hope they work

Norway? Skol!
I used Ranch Hand's first buttons on my 2016 1500. They were silver. RH did not charge me because they were finding they did not work on all sensors. They were iffy on my 2015, working about 75% of the time.

These new ones are black and work great on both my 1500 and my 2020 3500. I'm sure they will work on your 2015.

Very good info. I am going to try a set of those on my 2500 since the bull bar blocks the front two sensors meaning I have to leave the front Parksense turned off. Interestingly Ranch Land shows a $5.00 MSRP, Amazon and a bunch of others are from $30 to $60. Called Ranch Land to order direct, she is mailing me a couple, no charge. Damn good service.

Has anyone tried using the Westin relocation pig tails. I cannot find an application that says it works on the 2019 and up 2500s but the connectors for the sensors look the same to me as the 2018 and earlier ones as well as the ones on the 1500. Anyone know fir sure? My other question is do the pig tails have a connector at both ends, I am not really interested in having to splice in the extenders, If I was going to to do that I would just use the existing connectors and splice in an extension.

My 2017 Big Horn has 2 buttons to turn off the Front and Back sensors. I use it to turn off the fronts because they are very sensitive and go off in the rain or with a little snow on the bumper. I don't have that problem with my Cherokee.

So mine showed up. VERY happy. You do need to ensure they are EXACTLY in the right spot before you press them hard into place for the adhesive to stick. Lightly mounted them but needed to adjust one to get them to work. Properly mounted they work perfectly. I also read the other comments about the adhesive not lasting real long so I covered the tabs with a layer of Black Duct tape so they don't fall off. So nice to have my 2500 Ram front sensors turned back on again. A great product. I could not find them in Canada, the company sent me a complimentary set from Texas when I phoned them to find a Canadian dealer. Postage was 17 bucks and they wouldn't even let me pay that. Very impressed with Ranch Hand's customer service. Thanks guys for the information, didn't know these even existed.

I am also going to order a set of the Westin sensor relocation harnesses/mounts and see how they work.Good thing about Amazon is if they aren't right they are easy to send back.

Not sure you installed correctly. The round sensor cap punches out of the square holder. Sounds like you mounted the sensors still in the square holder, thus you have tabs.

My tabs have been on over a year through car washes and bad weather. No hint of them coming loose or off. Still sticking strong

 

[Dean2]

Nope, I mounted them right. I realised they puched out of the carrier to make just a round cap, which is whaaat I i call a Tab. The comments I read about them not sticking well was off of U.S. amazon reviews. They stuck on good when I installed them, the Duct tape is just extra protection and with the big winch bumper you can't see it at all anyhow unless you look closely behind the bumper and winch.

Gotcha, makes sense, I assumed you were with an OEM chrome bumper.

 

[Dean2]

It is the factory Chrome bumper, just with a Warn mount and a 17,000 pound winch.

Nice! I bet the parking lot idiots get a surprise when they give that baby a bump
