Backup sensor connector removal....

[Harry Seaward]

Anybody know how to to remove the connector on the back of a backup sensor? I damaged one today by backing into the side of my wife's car. The Tahoe has a dinged rear bumper. The other one has about 3 grand worth of damage. I managed to cave in both doors on the passenger side. Just a second of not paying attention. Neither my wife or I heard the proximity beep so I'm not sure it was working at the time of the collision.

That plastic bumper caused that much damage? I would look under there they should just unplug.

It was a corner shot at about 2 or 3 mph as I was attampting to turn around on my driveway apron.. I believe the plastic shell collapsed and pressed the connector against the the steel bumper behind it. The connector uses some kind of locking mechanism.

I thought there was a button to press to turn the system off, you can also put the truck in tow/trailer mode to turn system off.

There is a button. It's now illuminated full time and I'm getting a service message on the display. It's VERY EVIDENT that one sensor has been damaged.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but disconnecting will not cause the message to go away.
