Title: Parking Sensors Not Working....Now
Post by: mike213735 on 24 May 2012, 21:52:36

Hi all,

As you may have seen from my "Rusty Wheel Arches" post, I've just had my rear arches and bumper sorted.

Since getting the car back, the parking sensors beep continuously when in reverse. The beep doesn't sound like the something is too close beep, it sounds like a deeper note.

I'm going back to the bodyshop tomorrow (if I can get out of work on time) to get him to have look.

My question is, would this happen if say a wire was trapped or, a sensor not plugged in?

Thanks
Mike

P.S. Arches and bumper do look good though :)

I had a pikey bar fitted a few weeks ago and they took the bumper off.

Got the car back and had the same issue. Took the car back to them to look at it. Turns out just 1 sensor was not working due to dirt in the connector. All cleaned and refitted, works fine!

Could be the same problem :y

Now fixed.

I took the car back to the bodyshop and he dropped off the bumper and said they are all connected, so bring it back in the week and we'll have a proper look.
Me, being me was impatient, so I dropped the bumper off when I got home and had a proper look. I pulled gently on all the wires and one came out.

It just wasn't plug on hard enough. I must say, it took alot off effort to get it to click.

Thanks
Mike
