Winch controller cover keeps falling off.

I have never had my controller cover come loose. I even have a healthy coating of dielectric grease on my plug and it still stays where it belongs.

Never had an issue with mine either. And I've removed it several times.
I have this exact problem. The cover has been coming loose since the truck was new but I don’t recall the sensor issue happening until about 6 months after I bought the truck. I never put the 2 together until this post. Makes the most sense though. I was planning on pulling all the sensors and cleaning the connectors and de-coupler rings soon just to see if it helps. The fault I get is front park sense unavailable-wipe sensors or something to that effect.
That is the same fault I get. It is the cover swinging down in front of the sensor. I may see if some type of putty in the cover recesses will help hold it in there.
I've had it happen as well. I did the grease trick everyone else mentioned. Just enough to give that cover a little more sticking power.

Just put duct tape around the plug and insert. Should be snug.
