Hey everyone! Looking for some guidance on this.
I went from a steel Capable Front Bumper with Parking Sensors to a Heavy Duty Modular Front Bumper with Parking Sensors. I reused the wiring harness from the Capable Bumper, but ordered new LU5Z15K859AAPTM Parking Sensors from eBay to have the 90* plug to fit the Modular Bumper.
After the install, my Bronco was automatically turning off the parking sensors claiming there is a “Park Aid Fault”. I’m now dreading I have to disassemble the front bumper to troubleshoot the individual sensors. I double checked the pigtail that plugs into the vehicle; it’s a solid connection and likely not the issue
I read on another post that spraying WD-40 onto the pin connectors helps? Seems strange to me; spraying a liquid onto electrical components.
Curious to know if anyone else has encountered this with an OEM Bumper swap and what their solution is!
It’s likely the sensors are poor quality from eBay (China), the connection to one, some, or all the sensors are loose, there is a chip inside the sensor that the vehicle recognizes as foreign, or perhaps the vehicle doesn’t like that the fog light pig tails are no longer connected. These are just my guesses!
Also, here is a parts list and links I used to get the swap done:
Please note: parts lists vary based on each individual’s acquisition of a Modular Bumper. I sourced mine from a forum member, and the following parts were needed.
Swap to Heavy Duty Modular Front Bumper:

• Wiring harness (take one from capable bumper)
