    Maybe that silly light bar interfering with the sensor?

    That's a sharp looking bumper. Did you check to make sure you didn't pinch or cut any of the sensors or harnesses during install? Or maybe forget to reconnect a connector somewhere?
    Both of these systems operate using the forward-facing camera and laser mounted by the rear view mirror so the only thing I can think of would be a wiring issue.

    My money is on this. I recently had my 2021's grille off to do some work behind it and even fully intending to plug the sensor back up I forgot, and the harness had flopped down to a location that was hard to see so I didn't have a visual reminder before closing the hood.

    Well, I'm an idiot. I thought he got that sensor plugged back in. But it wasn't. And the reason (me having a awesome troubleshooting type mind... usually), it said "malfunction," which threw me off. I have so many projects going (getting ready to put house up on the market and move out-of-state), so, I guess I'm not with it. BUT THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!

    And I really like the bumper as-well! I didn't want anything huge, and overwhelming looking, but something allowing me to use my winch. The cost was reasonable as-well. Only thing that I'm going to have to get used to, is it's hidden, so not as quick and easy access like the one I had on my Wrangler.

    Likewise glad it turned out to be simple, and I really like the bumper. I didn't see a weight on the linked listing; do you know what it weighs? Also curious if the weight pulled the front end noticeably lower to the ground?
