PDC playing up!?

Post by Benxwyatt » Tue May 08, 2012 10:04 pm

Hi, I noticed the other day when I got into my car and put it in reverse that the pdc button started to flash and a long beep was heard and the parking sensors av stopped working! Then they av come on again, is there a loose wire or sommat? I've checked them all by pressing the button and listening to them ticking and the one on the rear drivers doesn't tick, but I've put my hand around the back of sensor and moved the plug around and no difference! But they work somedays and not the others! Weird!

Do they work better on dry days? Sometimes water might be the problem and can be fixed by gentle heat from a hair dryer. If that doesn't work then it sounds like the emitter is going bad and most likely needs replacing... :(
