rear parking sensors
« on: 29 March 2017, 18:19:11 »
I dont know if this is just a coincidence but yesturday i touched up the paint on my parking sensors and today now they are not working  :(.
 I just get a constant tone, i tried the quick omega test turning the ign on then car in reverse and checking each sensor for a clicking feel. I got nothing but if i tap each sensor the tone changes to  tapping tone.
 Can you put to much paint on..

They where all working in the terms of put car into reverse and it blipped once the bleep gets faster when you got closer to something

The centre part of the sensor vibrates, too much paint either makes it weigh too much to vibrate at the correct frequency, or the "gap" between the inner and outer gets sealed with paint and stops all vibrations ...  :(
