Speaker lead has a little connector half way along the wire ... just at the top of the boot area ... mine is presently unplugged to stop the "fail" noise driving me mad .... might be the previous owner has done the same ??

my 430 Ohm is just to the left of the boot slam panel ... by the rear light cluster. The speaker is right up under the rear left of the parcel shelf. ... pair of brown (I think) sheathed wires from the multipin plug on the parkpilot control panel head upwards in that direction .. mine were tagged to the very top "hole" by a small cable tie.... just behind that is a simple plug/socket .. obviously on the flylead from the speaker.  I've simply unplugged to stop the noise. When I wanted to test/diagnose all I did was plug back in !!

2 questions/observations spring to mind...

1) Who said curry?

2) In the UK, foglights are gay - we simply don't get the lack of visibility, yet every gay tinker turns them when visibility falls below 300 miles  >:(

Ah, so spare wheel out. I think I saw what you mean a couple of days ago when I had a brief look at it before rain stopped play. Square lump in the loom covered in foam wrap cable tied to the upright panel the unit is attached to...? If so it's not been disturbed by the looks....?

Thats about it ... wonder why you don't get any sounds at all then .. unless the speaker itself has been butchered .. or your control box is completely FUBAR ... :(

On the bike I used to pull up by the drivers window and ask " what's that rather great orange light on your dash?" and without fail there was a surprised "oh" and a press of the button to turn them off. Some times weeks after any possible fog  >:(

No power maybe?  Is there a plug to the unit? Could not find a related fuse in the in car fuse box

I'll unscrew the unit from the metal panel tomorrow and see if I can see anything obvious, it a bugger to see in behind there, meter out and possibly pinch the unit off the other car, which works fine. But looking at some of the cable ties, somebody has been buggering about in there, possibly to fit the bleeper for the indicators maybe.

Not gonna quote the whole thing above !!!

I had assumed you'd had the control box out .....  but it has two multipin connectors going to it ... one has all the wires from the sensors themselves, the other the power/speaker/test/430 Ohm/ and two that when connected make it quiet, when open loud (I think) ... there are bits in TIS
