Changed the dome light modules in the overhead console on thethirdtwin. No more disco lights! The hardest part was unsnapping the console after the screws were out.

I’m liking the crossbar on this new pushbar. Lots of mounting options for the future.

I relocated the inboard parking sensors to stop the false tripping. The left one gave me grief, even after replacing it. For now it’s unplugged, and all seems well in the world.

Night pics because I forgot to get then while it was still light out.

Well, leaving it unplugged lead to error message Service Parking System. Figures.

I saw a pic on another thread, or relocated sensors with a winch tray. So I flipped them outside. I’m not a fan of the look, but if it worked.

I flipped the left side, which was the giver of grief, to the outside. No error, so far so good.

Then I flipped the right, crrrraaaappppp. The error moved to the right side now.

No freakin way im leaving it asymmetric.

I really didn’t like the antlers look either.

On to plan D.

So far I’ve been using existing holes in the pushbar. If I move the sensor forward, it’s less likely to “see” the upright. Broke out the drill and moved as far as practicable.

For grins I tried an experiment. Put the sensor in front.

Nothing to see here. Move along, right? Nope. Still getting a false obstruction reading.

Plan E
Thinking I’d just leave the stock sensors in the original spot, I bought a new set of 4 aftermarket sensors. I’ve replaced the one giving me fits with a new one to no joy. Might out the original stock back in. Might also try one of the other new ones.

The baffling part is how the false reading flipped sides when the antler look was tried. So Im not sure the hardware is the issue.
