Rear Parking sensors not working "Service ParkSense Sensors"

This started happening about two weeks ago. I turned my truck on, '16 1500, and the rear sensors posted "Service ParkSense Sensors" on the dash. Having never seen it before, I got out and wiped them free of snow and dirt, got back in and the message hadn't cleared. Fast forward to now, I've disconnected all the rear sensors, plugged them all back in one by one to try and rule out single sensor. No joy. The front sensors all work fine, even disconnecting one of them doesn't throw a fault for the front, the rest just keep on working. Sometimes when I'm lucky the truck will start without an error, but as soon as I drop it into reverse the rear sensors immediately start screaming at me and then error out with the same service message. I've reseated the leads from the parking module behind the kick plate. Nothing. Anyone ran into this issue or something similar?

Could someone provide me with the wiring diagram for the connector that houses everything coming from the rear of the truck? Can't find the name of the connector or the but it's got all the tail lights, sensors, license plate light and I imagine tailgate lock. 2016 RAM 1500

Had the same thing a couple of months ago. Got a 4 pack of sensors off of Ebay for around $20.00. Installed them and no problems since.

So I did that, got a 4-pack off Amazon and installed them. Code reader is still reading errors on the Parking Module B1295-92, B1296-92, B1297-92, B1298-92.This is leading me to believe it's either the ground wire or the power supply wire that they all have in common. Just picked up a multimeter today, I traced the wires as far back as I could. Somewhere in that 48-pin connector are the two that I'm looking for but I was hoping someone had a diagram before I go hunting.

This is where my confusion comes from. My part was superseded by the new sensors I bought. Shouldn't it be just a simple plug and play? I'm half tempted to believe my parking module, P# 68141530AJ, needs to be updated or something to recognize the new sensors although I wouldn't know where to start there aside from going to the stealership. Aaaaand I just called my FCA dealership up here, they've laid off their tech and are deciding today if they're even staying open or not. Crap. Next closest dealer is 2 hours away and I'm sure they're in a similar situation.
