Default 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?

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?
