Hello all,

a while ago my rear parking sensors packed up, solid beeping when in reverse. At the time didn't want to replace them, local independent 'disconnected' them for me.

Have now moved house and wondering how this was accomplished (I am no expert...), as I wanted to double check that this isn't linked to a (perhaps v. common) problem I have been experiencing with loss of interior lighting (earlier post from late nov/early dec).

Presuming that Is there a fuse that can be removed? have looked at the fuse box diagrams in the manual, nothing for rear parking sensors.

many thanks!

The loss of interior lighting is pretty well covered, Id be checking for water under the carpet under the passenger side.

thanks for the reply - I was more trying to isolate one problem from a potential second one. wondering what the easiest way to disconnect (and hence reconnect) the rear parking sensors would be - can't find anything in the fuse diagrams in my user manual.

Probably just unplugged the sensor unless your saying the whole lot is off, if thats the case the control unit is behind the right hand boot carpet.

hi,

I am trying to reconnect my rear parking sensors - I have found the control unit next to the driver side rear lights, easy enough just to pull away a bit of the boot trim.

However, not clear to me how the sensors have been disconnected - have attached two photos of the control unit - any ideas? I can't see any dangling wires...

I have also checked fuse 9 next to the steering wheel, it's in place and fine.

thanks for any assistance!

Thats all connected, why not ask who disconnected it how they did it?

The white unit in the sec pic is the solenoid for the fuel flap btw.

thanks for the reply. yes bizarre it all looks normal, however there are signs of the plastic mount for the screw holding on the trim being turned so obviously someone has had a look.

fair point about asking the original mechanic, except that I moved down from scotland to london and haven't been able to reach him. in any case, its been a fair while now...

OT I know, but I see the solenoid, in the pic... but where is it on the car? I can't place it.

Apologies for my stupidity.
