I'm having problems with the factory fit parking sensors on my i-cdti exec and haven't found the answers I need in previous threads.
Essentially my parking sensors have just stopped working. No beep when I put the car in to reverse. Nothing.
I got my multimeter out and made the follwing measurements:
Power supply: 11 Volts (Not brilliant but the wiring looks pretty cheap - certainly no issues with the battery)
Sensors: All measuring between 1 and 1.2 Meg Ohms. All clean and located correctly as well.
Speaker: Open circuit
I've noticed when you put the car in reverse that the red LED on the speaker flashes continuously. Does anyone know what resistance I should get across the speaker? I can't find a circuit diagram but surely it should only be a few ohms if its deigned like a normal loudspeaker.
If its not that, it must be the controller, which is a much more expensive part. Anyone have any ideas?
