just curious if anyone has run into a problem with their reverse senors randomly not working?

when I put the truck into reverse the backup camera works just fine, however on the dash the rear senor control doesn't show "on" or "off" checked.. both are blank and the senors don't beep.

might be the sensors in the bumper are no good now.. who knows.

Lots of different places
I removed mine when I replaced the rear bumper, just unplugged them and it does the same; neither check boxes ticked and camera works. So sounds like yours is wiring/connector/sensor, although I'm not sure if one sensor fails they all do, so I would look at wiring first (they may be wired on a single circuit in series so like christmas lights where one goes they all quit, seems more likely than all four sensors failing at once).

Good call Ben I'll look into that first.

I've been thinking of doing the same as you in regards to the rear bumper and ditch the sensors anyways.
