Backing Sensor

I have a 2008 HD Crewcab and installed an aftermarket (Grote) backing sensor. For lack of a better power lead, I tapped into one of the rear reverse lights. Unfortunately, with "exit lighting" this leaves the backing alarm on until the doors are locked. Is there any other power wire that would be hot when the transmission is in reverse (such as a pressure sensor)? How does the factory get around this issue?

  That's always been the rule with prices at the pump. Rockets and feathers. This week's/last week's spike, well.. the doctor said if your excursion lasts longer than 4 months, it's just a war. There's active conflict in the Strait again.

  yes....if they are reacting to something. Could be a little mud/snow build-up..(triggers mine at slow speeds) but often I'll just get a front sensor blocked message. Maybe a park sensor starting to flake out?

  When it comes to gas prices it seems the rules have changed. My last trip to Oklahoma gas was cheaper than my area in Texas. Between Saturday and today it’s went up 20 cents at my local Kroger’s that’s one of highest per gallon. It’s usually the opposite. Sunday my local QT was 3.19. The price per barrel doesn’t seem to matter much. We’ve seen the profits of the oil companies lately. They’re slow to adjust one way, very quick the other.
