Delta - Reverse Parking Sensors

Question

Hi

 

My Delta (1.6 Diesel Auto) is starting to act like a capricious Italian maiden :huh:

 

Last year the parking sensors intermittently indicated "no parking assist available"...This problem seems to have resolved itself for about 10 months until recently.

If I put the car in reverse the warning indicator on the dash comes on and stays on. I have become accustomed to the "beep, beep" and it is particularly useful when I am reversing out of the shopping centre car park and some old dear comes "flying" past behind me in an electric wheelchair...really, its happened on more than one occasion!

 

I have cleaned the sensors from the outside and checked the wiring in the boot.

Has anyone experienced this problem and are the sensors activated by the gearbox?

 

Any input would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

The 1st thing I would try is a new reverse light switch.

It should be relatively cheap (budget about 30-40 quid fitted) and check the connections on the connector for water ingress and corrosion

In my experience, Fiat group reverse light switches are notorious for burning out
