Default Reversing sensors not working

Going through the problems with my 75.

Latest one I'm thinking about is the reversing sensors.

There's no noise at all. No beeps or anything.

The reversing lights come on and I've checked the sounder by opening the door with the lights on.

My searching for no sound seems to involve the gearbox switch which is ok on mine with the lights working. Any other search results involve buzzing/beeping which I don't have.

Any clues where to look?

on older cars the sensor sounder is under the parcel shelf at the back of the car...

when you put it in reverse do the sensors Click when you put your ear next to them?

So it's not on the ipk? That's what I read elsewhere. I'll have to track down the speaker in the daylight.


2 out of the 4 sensors click. So they'll be replaced.

I think that means a sensor fault... can you hear a click from each of the sensors when you put your ear up to them...
