My Excursion started a new little problem. When I put the Excursion into reverse, the back up sensors sound the audible alarm, even when there is nothing behind me.

Has anyone had this problem before? How was it dealt with? Any ideas? Thank you!

This happens to me when the sensors are dirty. Have you cleaned them? If they are clean, then I'm not sure -- perhaps someone else can chime in who has more experience.

Chances are good that you have a defective sensor (bumper mounted).
