jeebowhite Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Sounds like a possibility I would be checking the connectivity on the earth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryandonnachie5 Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Any idea where the earth is on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy45 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 If you can get to the connectors on the sensors at the back of the bumper, try disconnecting them one at a time and see if you still get the constant tone? That'll maybe give you a better idea if it's a sensor faulty rather than the module. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryandonnachie5 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 I can hear 3 of them ticking but one isnt,disconnected it but still long high pitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 The earth is behind the boot panel left hand side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryandonnachie5 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Cheers i'll have a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryandonnachie5 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Earth all seems fine,and power going to sensors so im guessing its either a faulty sensor or the module Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 If you unplug them one of turn you should find the bad sensor but I think you did that without success? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryandonnachie5 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Yeah i did that but still had no luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Sounds certainly like a bad module to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryandonnachie5 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Yeah they're a bit pricey as well so will.be doing without if it is lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 You could replace it with aftermarket sets? Basic kit can be 8 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryandonnachie5 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Yeah might look into that cheers for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevzs960 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If one isnt ticking then replace that sensor. That could be the problem. Have you checked you got power going to each sensor?

kevzs960 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Try a sensor first before changing the moidule Sent from my GT-I9195 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryandonnachie5 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Well tried a new sensor but still not working and doesnt tick!still get constant tone when i select reverse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouser27 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Long shot, and maybe someone with more experience will be able to say it's a daft idea before you proceed, but try unplugging all of the sensors. If the system can function with a sensor missing, then perhaps it will function with them all missing. (I'm thinking that you could have more than one sensor malfunctioning and removing one at a time hasn't gone far enough). Out of interest, did you powerhose across the sensors at all?? I distinctly remember one instance when it was raining sideways for a few days straight and my reversing sensors went mad until they had dried out.

madmole Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Check for mud on the underside of the bumper against the sensor. Always set of my landrover ones and was kind of annavoidable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
