Parking Sensors

[RGunby]

I need help with my parking sensors on my 2000 explorer. I purchased it from a private one owner. They never used the parking sensors, they said that they never really knew what they were used for. They said that the explorer was hit from the rear, but there was minor damage and the bumper was replaced they said that after it was replaced the sensors on the back haven't worked since. When you put the truck in reverse the "off" light comes on. Then I try to turn it back on and they won't the off light stays on. Can anyone help me?

I'm glad you joined like I told you too...I would check to see if all 4 are plugged in all the way and staying plugged in firm. Welcome Russell!

Welcome to this forum! I agree that it sounds like either they are not connected or maybe they were damaged when the previous bumper got hit.

Yea, I'm thinkin' the same thing. I'm also thinking that I've got to take it
to a dealer to get them fixed. I wanted an Explorer with this feature b/c my mom had a friend that backed over their child. So every car we buy we try to either get the reverse sensing system included with the car or either the back up camera.

Got em fixed. One was loose.
