I've got a 2019 Ranger XLT , and the sensors on the aftermarket bullbar start beeping when it's wet (raining)....only then do they misbehave ...has anyone got any hints as to how I can stop this please? The installers and dealership simply can't do anything about it...

I have a 2019 supercab and have only had problems with ice in the winter on the front ones, it’s annoying. It eventually stops beeping at me on its own after MAX a minute or 2.. I don’t have a solution other than to try drying it.. maybe water is finding it’s way into places it normally wouldn’t because of the bullbar mounting??‍♂

I would check the connectors to make sure they are properly seated. Maybe put some dielectric grease in them to keep water out. Moving them out to the bullbar may have made them more suseptable to water getting in.

it will stop them from being annoying at that moment.
I actually feel pretty stupid ?. That literally has never crossed my mind. I forgot that it was even a feature. That’s a pro tip for sure
