Yes, from the same location. This morning when I was out, the chimer did nothing. I decided to try wiggling/removing the parkin aid sounder. Before that I turned on the ignition, bunged the car into reverse and it started working again, as did light and seat chimes. I hate intermittent faults.
The chime just needs power and earth, not a difficult concept. As the sensors all click the parking aid is getting both. There is no K-bus fault showing. As you suggested earlier, that would normally impact other things on the K-bus. That logically, (in my warped mind) suggests 2 possibilities, either a poor connection or an intermittent short on the chimer circuit. I foresee prolonged and very irritating diagnostics. I was hoping that a similar problem had been solved on here. Most things generally elicit a solution.
