Westin Brush guard / need help with the sensors

[MHRanger]

So I installed it, looked like the sensors would be clear.... But they are not. The front 2 sensors alert every time I go to drive..
I've looked in the display menu's settings and can't find an option to turn off the parking aid. Of course that's what it says in manual.
I'm open for ideas.

Did you call Westin?

Yes, they said they did not offer a sensor relocator for the Ranger. They said to turn off the parking aid. Which I'm unable to do....

Look in your Owners Manual... page 177, top left, it discusses shutting off the system.

I've seen that, there is no option to turn off the parking aid in the display menu's. I have the XLT. If you have the same can you please check your truck and see if you are able.

I would do a DIY relocation then. It may look a little rough until you can refine the design but it would be ideal to have it at the very edge of your vehicle anyway.

Yeah, if it really comes down to it then I'll take it to a body shop and get done right. But I'm betting that there's enough smart people on the forums that can figure out something.

OK, I have an update.
Since I had purchased the auto start stop eliminator I got to thinking if they could do the same thing with the parking aid.... So I emailed them and explained the situation. Travis at Auto stop eliminator looked into it and made a modification to the connector. It's on its way to me. I will update when I get it installed.

Just FYI, if you go this route you will need to contact them directly.

Just curious if you had any update on this. I was considering seeing if Santa would bring me one of these brush guards, but if the sensors don't work, it would be a no go. Hoping they have figured something out.

I ended up getting the start stop eliminator set up for the parking sensors. The reply from westin was they didn't offer a sensor relocator. I stopped by my local Ford dealership and asked if they could recalibrate the sensors... They said they could not but I'm not very confident in this particular dealership. When I go back to the dealership that I purchased my truck from for the next oil change I'm going to ask them.

All the photos I've seen thus far on the Westin site show bumpers with no sensors. So maybe it really isn't intended for a truck with sensors.

Still looking for something to protect my expensive LED headlights - more than the PPF I put on them a couple months ago. And still looking for something to protect the expensive taillights too.

Thanks I think this will fix my issue with my bumper as well. I sent them a Message on their Contact us but do you have a part number or anything I can reference to them, Sounds like I need the same part I don't see it on their website.

No part number. I just explained to them what I needed. They'll make a custom wiring piece that plugs in just like the auto start stop eliminator, but into the parking button

The reps name is Travis Lambert.
He even followed up with me to make sure it worked.
Hope this helps.

I have one in the mail for me tomorrow. He had me place the order and put it in the notes.. I sent an email first. Very easy!

Do you have ACC? Does this interfere with the sensor?
