Reversing Sensors
« on: 16 October 2007, 10:24:09 »
The reversing sensors on my 2002 3.2 Elite dont work, can anyone tell me if/where the fuse is. The car used to be a chauffeur car and I was wondering if they have been disconnected, the reversing lights work OK.

TIA :y

Check the controller is plugged in, its mounted on the inside of the main metal support between the spare wheel and shock turret in the boot.

You should get a single beep as soon as it goes into reverse. Could be a power or 'beeper' speaker problem I guess.

Not directly. Fed from reverse lights.

Don't know if you resolved this, Pete, but I've been looking at the wiring diagrams and came across the park pilot. Do you have a towbar? There's some wiring that appears to be to disable the parkpilot if a trailer is hitched up. It connects either side of the fog light switch on the towing connector so if the fog light switch in the towing electrics is duff, this could explain it (assuming a factory tow bar).

There appear to be 2 pins on the parkpilot (Grey wires) which are shorted to enable the parkpilot if the towbar is not fitted.

Just thought this might help.

Ahh, just noticed it's the 3.2 so I guess it's irrelevant now. Still, someone might be glad of the info.
