3FIDDYZ Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 try checking the connections in the rear bumper or checking the sensors to see if there is any wax or polish in them as this will cause them to go mad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 ok, it having a was, polish and wax tomorrow and friday - going to the sister wedding and has to look good. I have just had the front wheel bearing replaced. Do you think that being up in the air would have caused an issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I have just had the front wheel bearing replaced. Do you think that being up in the air would have caused an issue? No, but: I have got a similar issue with my reversing sensors - one of the supply wires or the control unit itself is at fault in my case - I need to find time to get an electrian to see he can do a wiring by-pass, if it is possible rather than buy a replacement unit. If on cleaning the sensors the problem persists identify if all 4 sensors are working - lean over from the sides and cover each in turn (with ign on/reverse engaged) - the tone will change - if it dosen't on one, that sensor can be checked by carefully easing it out of the bumper and you should find a connection about 6 inches along the supply wire. Disconnect and swop with another sensor that is working, which will then tell you if it is the sensor or the supply. It does seem the reversing sensors are only covered by a 12 month warranty. And a complete change may mean bumper off to get all the wiring through But hopefuly it is dirt/polish on the sensor that is easily resolved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
