Reverse sensing system, false reading
Washed my 2005 lariat today here in Minnesota. Temperature was 20 F. But now two hours later the reverse sensing system is giving a solid tone. As to say I'm going to hit something. The sensors are clean and dry. Anyone have a suggestion on what maybe the problem? Never had this problem before.

Disable the stupid sensors. If you actually need them, you shouldn't be driving a full size truck in the first place!

If the wiring is shorted anywhere, it'll disable after 4 seconds not send a solid signal. Even at close distance, the pulse isn't a dead short so the system can detect a failure. There's 3 wires to each sensor: positive, negative, signal. If ANY sensor doesn't send a signal back, it auto disables, if any sends a shorted signal back, it auto disables. So in your case it's most likely frozen.
