Is Rear park sense “block off” a thing?

[Rockcrawlindude]

I think I have seen it posted here somewhere and now I just can’t find it.

I believe someone posted a link to “covers” or “block offs” for the rear park sense sensors.

I would like to block off the middle two sensors so they will ignore my hitch.

I want to say it was @John Jensen that posted the link but I could be wrong.

I’m actually looking for the same thing for the center two sensors in the front because of my grille guard.

I want to say it was baja designs?

ETA: It was Ranch Hand but these are just rubber bumpers so the price is stupid.

Maybe I'll figure out the size, cut some marine vinyl "Park Sense Blockers" and sell them on ETSY for $15...

I’m not sure how covering the sensors fixes the problem but I think I’ll try it. Thanks @Brutal_HO for providing the link

Pretty sure if you block them it will say wipe sensors, then will go to “park sense unavailable”, so not really the way to go…

I just turn off the rear sensors with the toggle switch when I'm trailering

My understanding was if only one or two are blocked, it will tag them as defective and keep working. Maybe, maybe not.

I haven't tried it, just passing along what I saw someone else recommend.

I’ll have to give that a try if I can ever get the truck away from my wife….

This hitch works fine with mine. My other hitches I’ll trigger the warning.

I have one and it still sends the sensors bananas.
