    Hey,

    My wife has my truck this morning and just called me to say that the reverse indicator light on the dash is blinking and beeping. I've never seen this before. It's a base model truck without a backup camera or reverse proximity sensors, so I'm at a loss. Anyone else ever deal with this?

    Thanks.

    Does your truck have a manual transmission?
    I’ve heard the 6 speed trans will beep when you put them into reverse.
    I have an automatic, so I’m not familiar with the system.

    Maybe you have a bad reverse switch.

    I bet @Dm93 knows exactly how the system works?

    Reverse inticator light on the dash tells me it's an auto, my manual beeps when I put it in reverse but I don't think the autos do?

    Mine doesn’t beep.

    My 5 spd manual didn’t have a dash indicator.
    Wasn’t sure if the 6 spd had an indicator or not?

    No indicator just a single beep when going into reverse and the camera comes on in the radio.
    The indicator blinking and it beeping is definitely strange, I'd need more information to form a hypothesis.
    Just throwing this out there but is it 4wd and if it is maybe the switch accidentally got flipped to 4lo?
