When backing in reverse with the reverse sensors disabled the front will randomly beep as if something were there.
Any ideas why of how to fix?

They just do it. Will light up with warning in EVIC, and U look and look and nothing there. MY 16 did it, MY 19 does it. Also, if they get dirty, Mud on them, a lot of dirt, ice on them, they R a monster PITA. But at least it is only intermittent. All IMHO .....

ADDED: Not matter if Rear off or not, just at times does it. Heck, even a deep driveway with a dip at end will trigger them.

The park sensors are very sensitive. Like mentioned above, dust, dirt, snow, ice and even water on them can trigger them. Shadows will even trigger them. I have a fairly steep driveway and backing out can be a pain when they sense the sidewalk lol. I haven't had to tow my enclosed trailer yet but I can imagine that's going to fun lol

Just hit the switch and turn em off, lmao. Mine turn off auto on rear when I tow my trailer. If I tow neighbors 4 pin trailer, I have to turn off manually because system does not detect trailer.

Mine turn off auto when I hook up my trailer too... I wish the programmers were smart enough to have Tow/Haul mode turn on automatically as well.

Just all remember: turns off if system detects electrical load/hookup on 7 pin. Will not turn off on 4 pin, that is strictly lighting on the 4 pin.

But the weird thing is the front sensors only go haywire when the reverse sensors are off. Otherwise the front and back all work like they’re supposed to.
I agree they are sensitive, this is the 5th Dodge vehicle I’ve had with them and they all worked fine.
Thanks
