2012 Explorer Backup Sensor

[momofthree]

In a rush to pick up a kid from school, I backed out of my driveway into the landscaper's truck. It was a corner bumper to corner bumper collision and other than scrapes and scratches there is no major damage. But when I back up now, the sensor doesn't beep. I have cameras from all sensors, just no sound. Can I just replace the sensor?
Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the Forum momofthree.:wavey:
The sensors and camera work independently. The sensors can be replaced. They had to replace and paint to match, my front right sensor just after I got my 2011 Ex because it wasn't working. I'm not sure exactly what is involved in the actual replacement procedure.

Thank you Peter, do you think its just damage to the sensor? Since I can see the camera but don't hear the beep, I'm concerned it's more than that.

The camera should work, even though the sensors don't. I'm just puzzled as to why you don't get the 'beeps' from the other sensors. I just tried it with my MKT. I blocked one sensor but the others still beeped. Not sure if blocking one equates to it being unserviceable though. Does the camera still produce the green, yellow and red zones?

Yes, I still get the green, yellow, and red zones.
