This is an fj crusier, when I put it in reverse, inside the car beeper lets me know that it's in reverse, but as I am backing up, and getting closer to anything, I don't hear anything. This problem just happen the past few days and was working. I did check the connections I the rear and they are plug in, the fuse is good. Could it be "both" are bad, or if one doesn't work, then both don't? They seem very hard to replace, which are under the rear bumper and looking at you tube videos, it looks like a pain. Any help on this issue? Thanks

In general the sensors are independent so if one fails the other should still operate. However, we need to run through the testing that I attached to determine what the possible cases are. Let's run through this testing and see what we turn up. Let me know what questions we have. Thanks

Thanks for the feed back. I installed 2 new ones and it's still doing the same thing, sound inside the car, but when you get closer to any object, nothing happens, which it's suppose to get fast audible sound. Is it inside some where? This really driving me crazy. Thanks for any help.

Can you get a video of what it is doing now? Just put a trash can or something behind you and back up to it so we can see what is happening and that will help us figure out next steps. Thanks
