hype Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) So I went for a drive this weekend and all of a sudden a beep starts emitting from somewhere in the dash - totally freaked me out but there were no warning lights, and it kind of came and went so I thought nothing else of it. Went out again later in the day and it's doing it again, and going a bit nuts this time - so I decide to thoroughly investigate. Turns out I must have front parking sensors, and it's fair to say they're malfunctioning. Just to the left of the hole where you'd put the key fob is a small square push button, it sits in either an on or off position. I must have knocked it with my knee when I went out for that first drive. I'm not particularly bothered about using them, never really had any issues parking cars if truth be told, but I would like to fix them. There's no exterior clues at all (same for the rears). Does anyone else have a similar system fitted and have any ideas where to look (I know the front bumper is a good place to start)? Thanks in advance. EDIT: Oops, this was meant to be in 370z General - sorry mods. Not woken up yet. Edited March 17, 2014 by hype Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIXXERUK Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Considering you have only touched the switch, the first thing I would do is pull the switch or have a look behind it to check the connections You can normally see the sensors on the bumpers if it has a parking aid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hype Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 I'll check the connections tonight when I get in. There are no senors on show on the bumper, certainly not the usually flush, round type. I wondered if there were behind-the-bumper type installations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hype Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 'cough cough' radar detector maybe I'd be more than happy if it was! Especially as I'm pretty sure I got zapped on the A50 at the weekend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
