    [​IMG] Installed a front camera, checked my work as I was going, checked everything again before I button it all up. All good. Start up the truck and get this warning.

    F#ck!

    Somehow I must have damaged the sensor in the grill. I’m sure this will be a not inexpensive repair.

    ohh… wait… that’s right, I never reconnected the grill sensor when I reinstalled the grill.

    Don’t forget to plug your wires back in everyone.

    You’ll do it again if you ever remove the front grill to add a light bar. Ask me how I know?

    Haha. Tends to happen to the best of us. I did my headlights to full LEDs and same thing happened. Thought the harness was bad or something but nope it was the plug for the sensor.

    I got an "Engine Light" light, when I hooked up my fuse to the recommended one, in one of the YouTube videos, for the anytimebackup camera.

    It took 2 days to clear itself once I removed it from there. But I knew I didn't screw it up, I just had to be patient.

    I have a front grill light bar! I think that’s what hit me hardest, I remembered to reconnect when I did the light bar so I was wrongly confident that I reinstalled everything this time. Whoops…
