The button on the lower dash that turns on/off the rear bumber object sensors is "stuck" or lit in the off selection. Pressing the button multiple times will not cure the problem. Cleaned lenses on the bumper sensors, no help. All wires seem to be connected as needed as best I can see. Oddly, some days, when the temperature outside is a little warmer, it works. This problem first began when we had our first real cold snap this winter. Do I have a bad sensor(s), switch, or both? How do I find out?

Doc here's the scoop, Tailgate must be closed, ignition in run position, reverse gear selected, Reverse lights come on?, I will send a PDF file via email, but you may need to have the truck scanned for "B" and "C" codes, generic scan tools dont read these, so a local garage or Ford can scan it, the PDF has all codes and testing for them included.
