Parking Sensor faulty?

<< < (2/2)

Richn83:
Think they can be individually replaced, never done it myself but I believe each one has a separate plug connection into a wiring harness and will detach from the bumper.

no golf clubs at all:
I flaked the paint off it seems to have improved things but the plastic face of the sensor is pitted, it looks corroded. I'll post a pic in the morning but reckon it needs a swap out unless I can "prime" the sensor some way then paint to match the rest.

Eddie-NL:
The sensors sit in a retainer on the bumper, if you can reach it from the bottom you need to release the 2 plastic lugs. Otherwise you will need to take the bumper off. You can unplug it from the wiring loom

pobmk4:
If its corroded then i'd advise you to replace it, its quite a common problem throughout the range, but its a DIY job, theres not much to it (well depending how big your arms are!! :grin:) but as Ed says, remove the screws from the tabs below the bumper and reach up and remove the sensor from its mounting point!!
