Parksense Sensors
Has anyone with Parksense sensors has had or have issues with the front sensors? Specifically receiving a constant message that the sensors need to be wiped no matter how much you wipe them?
In my case sometimes this alert disengages the front sensors and sometimes it doesn’t.

Re: Parksense Sensors
It's happened to me a handful of times over the last 2 years. 9 times out of 10 it corrects itself in 5 minutes. Otherwise it disappears when I turn off and restart the truck.

Re: Parksense Sensors
I just pushed the button on the dash and turned the front off because it was just to annoying , every snowflake or raindrop set off the warning .
Re: Parksense Sensors
I turned all of mine off when I picked up the truck and left them off. So, no problems.
ETA, I think there's a screen option where you can adjust the sensitivity. If that doesn't help, just take it back if it's a 19 under warranty.

Re: Parksense Sensors
Thanks. Seems to be a common problem. Maybe messing with the sensitivity setting will help.
Re: Parksense Sensors
I removed the front sensors with the front bumper and never looked back. Never missed em for a minute and they are no longer annoying off road or in the rain. If you know how to drive a truck they are just worthless.

Re: Parksense Sensors
I'll be honest, I use the front ones every day when parking and wouldn't want a full size lifted truck without them. With this big of truck I need every inch of most parking spots.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.

I would hate having to wait until I see the car I'm pushing on - move before I change direction when I'm squeezing in a spot.

I like the sensors.

Re: Parksense Sensors
I use mine, mostly getting in the garage. But I do get one on the front that will just go off in the morning and say please wipe, then work later.

Re: Parksense Sensors
Yeah it seems to have a mind of its own. My sensors have worked fine during the last week. Before that they would trip the “wipe” message everyday. I started washing and wiping with car soap and water. Not sure if that’s why I haven’t tripped the message over the last week or whether it’s just luck.
Re: Parksense Sensors
HockyWagon, any chance you are running HID headlights? I'm wondering if this isn't the source of some of the ParkSense issues.

Re: Parksense Sensors
You guys and your park sensors. I keep backing up until it sounds expensive.

Re: Parksense Sensors
The interweb says this might be a troublesome combo...
As a data point of one, mine only show the message to wipe them when they have a thick layer of dust. I was driving in 2ft deep moon dust a couple of weeks ago and had this problem.

Re: Parksense Sensors
Thanks for the HID tip. My sensors trip the error message with little to no dust randomly and sometimes continue to trip even after I wipe them.

Re: Parksense Sensors
Yes I have the same problem front sensor only. Took it to dealer they could not reproduce the problem. I pick it up in dealer lot and get the message to wipe sensor. This happens when truck is clean on sunny days. If you find a solution let me know.

Re: Parksense Sensors
And I know that my ass end is high enough that I can overlap above their hood on many of the low riders
That's why I finally removed my truck nuts - for more parking clearance!!!
