adding back up sensors

[Danson]

hey everyone i am replacing my back bumper and i can only find one at an auto wreckers that is the same color but it has back up sensors... i was wondering how hard it would be to just add this feature, like would i just need to get the module and the switch because im pretty sure that all the wiring is there. i have the wire behind the cluster that goes to the switch and the wireing that goes to the module in the jack storage area is this possible???? thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!!

Did you ever figure this out? I have the bumper, module, and switch but I can't find the speaker. I don't know where it connects.

If you have a 99 to 01 4 door, then yes it is actually pre-wired for reverse sensors. You will need the following however to add to the vehicle:

4 sensors (they do go in specific spots fitment wise)
the bumper harness for the sensors
The PAM
the speaker (it mounts in the driver side c pillar right below the seat belt anchor point)
Dash bezel
Disable switch


From there it's a matter of just plugging everything in

This is where the speaker is behind the trim

Wow, thanks for the info, I've been searching everywhere for it! I have everything except the speaker. So it plugs in behind the seat belt pillar on the drivers side rear seats? I found all of the other connectors so I imagine the speaker connector will be back there too.

Yes the speaker connecter will be there. It will be folded up and taped to another harness about 8 inches below the speaker mounting spot

Cool. Do you remember what it looks like by any chance? I'm going to make sure the connectors match before ordering. From what I've seen all of the ford back up speakers look like this:

That's the one. The connector will be a black square connector with two pins

I've been busy with school and work so it took me a while to finish this project. That and I also ordered 4 new sensors since two weren't working on the bumper I pulled. I plugged in the speaker and installed everything, and it works and looks great. I'll be writing a how to since I took pictures of the entire process, and I'll be sure to give you credit for your help. Thanks again.
