Have you an override switch fitted as some had FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Yes, there is a switch on the dashboard. The sensors come on automatically when reversing, and they can be turned off using that switch (or you can turn them on if going forwards). Sometimes they work and the light on the switch stays on. Randomly they don't work and the light flashes. I'm thinking a loose connection perhaps. I've tried cleaning the sensors to see if that makes a difference, but it didn't. |

As with many electrical faults it will take some finding. Best leave it to an auto electrician if you are unsure but you could pull out the fuse and replace and give what contacts you can see a spray with something like WD40 to clear any damp.

Sounds like a loose/poor connection it will be a case of trying each sensor and any other connectors you can find

Can be easily diagnosed by plugging into SDD. Will tell you exactly which sensor or front/rear problem etc. MY15

I finally got my car to a garage with diagnostic equipment, and they identified one particular sensor that is faulty. They want £330 for parts, labour and VAT to put it right. I don't think so! |
