Yep, both front and rear sensors beep continuously when it rains, and in the snow the other week, then fine again when everything dries out. |

Well I've been smirking at these sensor problems and guess what? It wasn't raining last night when I left work, although it was murky, stuck it in reverse and all hell broke loose with a low frequency continuous beep. The same when I reversed into my drive at home but behaving perfectly this morning |

I cleaned all my sensors with Mr sheen ! as a water repellent never had any issues since when it rains. I wipe the black bumper and sensors with silcon after each wash and sensors work better then ever. No problem with tow bar electrics or caravan on the rear iether.

The parking sensors on my 07 GS rarely work. The engagement sounder comes on occasionally when I'm driving forward. The radio jumps stations and does not switch off when I remove the key. I bought it two months ago. I've had it back to the supplier twice who cannot fix it. They have taken it to Stratstone, Newcastle who also cannot fix it. I don't think it's the sensors as the engagement sounder does not come on. I think it must either be an intermittent connection, faulty relay or bad earth. Anybody got an idea where to start looking. |

I just can't understand what all the fuss is about. here is a far better method than using a cars sensors for reverse parking, what I do is to get the other half to stand behind the car whilst reversing. As the car gets closer to say a wall she starts off with a warning shout, then getting closer she starts screaming which gets continuously louder. When she has stopped I know I am as close as I can get. Works every time

Does anybody have information and/or pictures of how to remove the rear parking sensors. |
