| A small victory - parking sensors | |
Noticed that I wasn't getting rear parking sensor warning on one side when reversing out the drive the last couple of days. Read a few posts on here, watched a couple of YT videos and was ready to get the bumper off and replace the wiring loom, or maybe buy some new sensors
However, a basic bit of fault finding later (found out it was only the inner and outer sensors on the driver side that were'nt beeping, passenger side were fine) and I fixed it for exactly zero pence!
Realised that as well as listening to the sensors operating (faint clicking noise) you can actually feel them working, if you put your finger on it you can feel a small pulse. So with all 4 pulsing, I knew they were at least getting power and probably talking to the PDC unit behind the rear fuse box
Reached up under the rear bumper and with a little bit of fiddling managed to push the outer sensor out from behind, take the connector off, gave it a bit of blow and reseated it and it started working, along with it's buddy!
No bumper off, no tools, no cost. Took all of 5 minutes. I'm feeling just a tiny bit smug right now! 09 RR Westminster 3.6TDV8 - Stornoway Grey / Black interior - now gone (sad face)
