Park assist / reverse sensor system
26. Sep 2008 at 10:14

Searching hasn't helped me, unfortunately, so forgive the new topic if it's an age-old question!

My 2001 Elite has reverse sensors fitted but the system isn't functioning (I presume it emits a series of warning 'beeps' but mine doesn't do a thing). Is this a common fail and what are the basics that I should be looking for to make it operational?

(I'm a novice with the Omega so please be gentle!)

Somebody posted a link to where you can buy them recently if you do a search for it.

Find the control unit in the boot and get the multimeter out. I think the reverse light feed is the red wire going into the box but I can't remember off hand.
