Hey,

I've just reversed in to a brick wall, totalling ignoring my reverse sensors.

Now when i put it into reverse i get a constant high pitched noise for a few seconds before it stops. The parking sensor light is flashing rather than constant and the sensors have stopped working.

Im hoping the cable has just come out of the back of the sensor but i would have thought the others may have still worked.

Any ideas gratefully received,

Rob

Its a 2005 Freelander TD4.

Wiped all the brick dust out but still gives a loud beep (different to normal beep) and then goes off and the parking sensor light starts to flash.

Possible you have deformed or damaged one of the sensors, unplug each one in turn til you find the duff one ... may have to wash the sensors, a brush off of fine dust may not be enough ...

I only hit one bang on, the others are untouched so pretty sure i know which one it is. Is it a bumper off job or can you get to them without???

Dunno, I'm only using logic so far ...

You can put your ear to the sensors and hear a 'ticking' sound - if not, one has failed

Usually, but you can drill it out if you're brave

Why do you want to fix them if you ignore them anyway?

I was thinking the same thing. I don't ignore mine.

If you just want to stop the silly noise, then I think you can just unplug the switch.

Will just buy a new sensor and drill the old one out. Will save taking the bumper off.

Make sure you get the correct one, as inner and outer sensors are different.
