Front parking sensor

Rosalie Kaupanger · Aug 21, 2016

We just installed a front brush guard on our 2015 Expedition because of the heavy wildlife in our area(I've hit deer and elk 4 times so far), but now every time the car is put into drive, the front parking sensor goes off. Is there any was to PERMANENTLY turn off the sensor? A temporary pop-up comes on the screen to turn off the sensor, but once the car is turned off, it resets and beeps every time I drive. Thanks for any help you can give, Rose

I have a 2015 Expedition Limited 4x4. Perhaps you can ask your dealer if the feature can be turned off permanently?

Since new, my Expedtion front parking sensors will intermittently sound a warning while I am driving and there is nothing close to my front end. I have checked to ensure the sensors are clean and nothing is covering them (such as bugs). I had my dealer check the system and of course received the "no codes" answer. The vehicle has never been wrecked or damaged.

You could just disconnect the wiring for the front sensor if you no longer need it.

Some more bad advice from this member If you disconnect the sensor you will still get a warning indicating a sensor fault

I have wanted to do the same thing and was considering moving the blocked sensors to the light mounts on the brush guard. I am trying to figure out a housing for the mounts. Will report back once I have some results.

On my new 2016, there is an on/off function on the left side steering wheel control. But I think it may have changed from 2015.

FWIW, if you consult an insurance adjuster regarding brush guards they will tell you that they typically reduce the amount of damage in a minor accident, but have the potential to increase the amount of damage in a more serious accident due to the fact that they transfer the brunt of the impact from the body panels to the frame. I have no personal experience either way, but a few adjusters told me such and it seems reasonable. I like them anyway.

I'll look back through past threads. Someone said they were going to relocate the sensors to the brush guard and cover them with chrome paint. I never heard back if they were successful.
