ADDING BACKUP SENSORS

[EARLSAYS]

Hey folks, I have a 2023 BS Badlands, the only option mine was the Wild peak tires. A couple days ago, I was rear ended. Broken tail lamp and screwed up rear bumper. I work in Ford parts, and in the parts catalog, There is a note on the rear bumper, stating that the sensor brackets are sonically welded to the rear of the bumper. I have not actually looked under the bumper to see if the sensor brackets are presant. If I need a new bumper, I figure, why not add the sensors, change the wire harness from a Badlands equipped with sensors, and I can probably activate them in Forscan, and then have backup sensors. Anyone ever add these?

That should work! (I have the back sensors on my Badlands so don’t know for sure)

OKAY!

I did a bit of digging on this, I compared a BS Badlands WITH sensors, to my BS badlands WITHOUT sensors, and here's what I found:

[Dude]

And you probably get a huge discount off parts - let us know how the install goes!!

Have you investigated the FORScan changes needed?

I did not see this Blind Spot Monitor module in your list but perhaps it’s part # has changed

I did not add the blind spot sensors to my list, because my bronco, while it does not have backup sensors, it DOES have blind spot sensors. BLIS is a separate system/stand alone option.
