Hello everyone and thanks for taking the time to read my post!

I have a 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 I recently bought. When I bought it the truck complained I needed to service the rear ParkSense sensors. I figured I'd try and fix whatever issue it was myself so:

I replaced the 4 sensors in the back with new ones. Problem still exists.

I replaced the wiring harness for the 4 sensors. I thought for sure this was the issue as one of the connectors was broken. After replacing the wiring harness, it still complains with "Service Rear ParkSense Sensors".

Anyone have some idea what could be the problem? Is there a fuse that could have blown that is specific to the ParkSense Rear Sensors? Everything else works like a charm.

Thanks for your time and feedback!

Your first step should be getting the codes retrieved before throwing parts at it. You’ll have to find somewhere that can retrieve body and communication dtcs.

Alphaobd should be able to retrieve tham if the op wants to spend about 125 for the software & bluetooth plug in.

Good Morning Steve, I had the same issue with my "16" 2500. Not sure if the wire harness is the same but, behind the left front wheel well liner is a ( I think ) 54 pin connector. Had to replace mine because I broke off the lock pins while looking for another wiring issue. Anyway the male and female connectors where coming loose causing intermittent sensor issue.
