Getting old!
My car, like me, is showing signs of aging.
Lines are appearing on her face, well actually disappearing and the reverse sensors are playing a tune I cannot name. Like me she will just have to put up with it. Is there a simple way to check the fault with the reverse sensors? Terry |

Its usually the wiring harness, it tends to stop working in damp weather due to moisture getting in where the plastic coating is brittle.

See if you can use a multimeter to check the wiring harness from inside the bumper, through the join, to the electronics box.
Other option is dodgy sensor(s). Mine sometimes plays a tune, and by listening for the clicks, and the aid of TOAF, I think one sensor is bust. Just need to find a replacement... |

There must be plenty around, just not in Royal Blue. Do you have a rattle can?
