Hello all you brains out there

 

My parking sensors have stopped

all i get when i select Reverse is a long beep then nothing until i turn off engine then the next time i start and select reverse a long beep then nothing Etc Etc

does anyone know if i unplugged all of the sensors and then tried reverse should i still hear a beep or not ?

i am assuming that if i took it to a garage it might be expensive ?

is there any way i can test the Parking aid module ?

I've tried a code reader and no codes stored and I've tried the dash self test 

obviously I've cleaned sensors 

any help?thoughts would be fantastic

Focus 2.0 titanium automatic 

 

Had a similar issue with mine, I selected reverse with ignition on I then unplugged each sensor in turn until the constant beep went off, I managed to find the sensor that was playing up by putting my hand over each sensor in turn popped it out of the bumper gave it good clean put it all back together and it solved the problem 

Select reverse with ignition on get down on hands and knees and put ear to each sensor a healthy sensor emits a ticking noise .......

give them a clean, usually works for me!

Thanks for the replies but i have cleaned them taken them out etc etc

my car is automatic so can't leave it reverse (scares me)

i have 1 beep which lasts for 3 seconds then no noise 

thats why i was wondering if it was a fault with the Parking aid module but don't want to waste £50 on a replacement

When he said put it in reverse with the ignition on he doesn't mean with the car running, turn the key till your dash lights come on, then select reverse (it's one position before you actually start the car, position 2 if I remember correctly)

Its an automatic so gear lever will not move unless engine is running
