First off - nothing dangerous about putting truck into reverse with the engine off - its not going to roll anywhere in gear.
You may hear ticking from all 4, but make sure that they are all ticking strongly/audibly. A faint tick indicates a bad sensor(as does no tick). Swap it out with one that is working to rule out bad wiring/harness.
If all 4 are ticking strong and system still won't work, then you're likely looking at a module failure. Never hurts to try a reset by doing a battery disconnect for 10 mins. I seem to remember reading somewhere that if you hold the button down while turning on the ignition, that the system resets as well. Play with it and see.

Module or fuse... check wires
