Troubleshooting A Sprinter Back Up Sensor That Alarms When A Bike Rack Is Attached
Question:
Have MB Sprinter. Do you have a devise that plugs into the 7 pin trailer electrical connector that makes it think there is a trailer there so I can attach a bike rack without causing alarms when backing up?

You could plug in the Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201 using the 7-Way to 5-Way/4-Way Trailer Adapter for Vehicles with Lamp-Out Sensors Towing Trailers with LEDs # C35FR to make the electrical connection necessary to keep the sensors from going off. These lights can attach to your bike rack to add extra visibility and provide brake, turn, and running lights that will be visible even if the bikes block your Sprinter's lights.
