    Since my last posting I have purchased a new 2022 TRD PRO and love, love, love it. In the process of putting on new Body Armor bumpers I disconnected the BSMs and also removed the switch because I needed the slot for lights. Now at times I get a continuous backup alarm on the left rear corner whenever the truck is in reverse. Somedays I don't. All the connectors are taped off and I have not been through any water and no corrosion. I just want to remove all traces of the BSM. Is there any way to disconnect it at the source????

    If all you removed are the sensors, then yes.

    Did you remove BSM and backup sensors or just BSM? I have BSM removed and switch removed for lights as well and don’t get any issues at all. If you have back up sensors removed as well, be sure to turn that system off too.

    Would you consider allowing me to use your bsm sensors in my truck to fix my bsm issue?
