MG ZT Rear parking sensors no sound ! ! !
Hi,
Hope someone can help me here and in time help someone else as well maybe? Problem - Rear parking sensor does not make a sound at all (I've looked at numerous posts to try and find the cure). So far I've 1) Checked the reversing lights - WORKING 2) Listened to the individual sensors for clicking sound - ALL WORKING, or at lest clicking 3) Had a look for the sounder under the parcel shelf (removed trim and looked to left hand of near side seat belt reel), can't find anything The car is a 53 2003 car (registered dec), has a BLACK control box for the sensors located below the auto changer in the offside of the boot. Any ideas please, thanks

I used to have problems with the sensors when water from one of backlight clips were dripped on the cables and traveled to ecu, worth check

I have one sitting here, but depends where your sounder is? As mine is in the IPK, the car it come off was in the rear shelf...

Dirty/corroded contacts in wiring behind the rear bumper. There is also a splice in the wiring loom behind the bumper that could fail.
