How to disable reverse sensors on 2015 SuperDuty

I used to feel your pain!!! It is a real PITA with camper or even towing a trailer using the flat 4. I got the Tekonsha Emulator several years ago. Works good. Has many many miles on it and is covered in grime.

I also wired in an additional flat 4 for the utility trailer as when the emulator is in you can't use the factory flat 4.

When it starts going off look at the center gauge cluster between tach and speedo you should see the option displayed, just toggle down with the buttons on the left side of steering wheel to disable it for this time only. Just gotta do it each time though.

The Owners Manuals can be downloaded in PDF.
Use "Control F" to bring up the PDF search box.
Search: Rear Sensor

Find:
"The system can be switched off through
the information display."

Edit

I asked a stupid question.

A cheaper alternative is to wire an electric brake magnet to a 7 blade plug and plug it into the bumper trailer plug and tie the magnet to the receiver hitch. Set the brake controller to the lowest setting. The truck then thinks there is a trailer and disables the reverse sensor and the magnet is weather resistant.

Yup tried that but it doesn't work on newer trucks.

Found This. Not sure if it's the same or similar procedure for 2015:


"You can download/print the 2011 F-250 Owner’s Guide found in the Glovebox section of Official Ford, Lincoln & Mercury Owner Site | Personalized Owner Information | FLMowner.com where this information can be found in the 3rd printing:

To permanently turn off the Rear Sensing System (RSS), first look to the “System check and vehicle feature customization” section starting on page 25:

Press the SETUP button repeatedly to cycle the message center through the following features:

Cycle through until you get to this option (found on page 28):

REAR PARK AID (if equipped)
-This feature sounds a warning tone to warn the driver of obstacles near the rear bumper, and functions only when R (Reverse) gear is selected.
-Press RESET to turn this feature on or off. You can also choose to turn this feature on/off when the vehicle is placed in reverse.

This will make it so you don’t have to keep turning the RSS off each time you go into reverse on your 2011 F-250.

One additional thing I found out is that you need to make sure you are using the admin key (MyKey) when you follow the procedure to keep it turned off."

Read the manual cover to cover and researched online. There is no setting to permanently disable the sensors. There use to be a trick through a MyKey setting to keep it disabled but this doesn't work on the newer superdutys.

RTFM, (Read The F...ine Manual) I'm sure it's in there somewhere.
On my RAM, there is a button on the side of the radio to disable the sensors. It is a little more trouble to disable the backup camera through menu searching on the display.
