byronwells Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Hi guys I am wondering if the freezing cold can affect the parking sensors plus the boot lock mechanism? I have got a Ford Fiesta 2011 model which has got some rear parking sensors on it.. They were find yesterday but now for some reason when I put the car into reverse it beeps once (like normal) and then a continuous beep even though there is nothing behind it at all. Also the Boot is very hard to open in the morning.. Plus sometimes while driving the boot sensor says that the boot has come open.. No idea if both things are affected by the freezing cold or this is more of a serious problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobr Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 When I started my car this morning in a temperature of -4, it sounded like the big ends had gone. Was OK after a couple of minutes driving though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro_Tull Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Wayer can get into the sensor housing, and when it freezes it becomes a solid item which the sensors interpret as you hitting a wall. With luck it should clear come the thaw...with luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byronwells Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Yeah I think there is ice completely in the whole sensor section.. Have to wait until the weather warms up and hopefully that will sort out the issue :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
