Different Parking sensors problem

baxlin · 17th October 2009, 17:01

My car's started to have an intermittent PDC problem, ie sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.

When they don't the reversing lights work, so the switch is OK.

I was doing some work around the passenger footwell fusebox, ign on, engine off, reverse selected, and I touched something - a relay or something - and the sensors beeped into life. Worked for a while, then stopped, so I fiddled around again, made them work etc.

So, anyone know what "bit" is loose, please, as I don't seem to be able to identify it?

Thanks

Malcolm

Is this close to the earth/ground common point (a bolt with loads of black wires under it) at the bottom of the A-pillar? If so it is worth checking here.
