Sorted a problem, caused another!

My reversing lights and parking aid were not working. I checked the fuse and it was missing. I replaced it and now they both work, in fact the reversing sensor works even when there is nothing behind it!!!

How do I fix it and are the little fuses readily available?

Thanks, John. :lol:

John

an 04 car will have "mini blade" fuses which are available from any good motor factors.

Sounds like the fuse was removed due to a sensor problem.

Most likely cause is a faulty / water in a sensor(s) or corrosion in the loom behind the bumper.....

Nice to see you back too....

Bubbling of paint on the sensor, or even just dirt can cause false readings.
