So, the parking sensors on my 120 have never worked since I had it. Not a big deal, but its on my list to look at.
They seem totally dead, even the button/light just under the steering column doesn't light up.
However, the parking sensors themselves have power - you can feel it if you put your finger on the sensors!
When I was doing other jobs, I had all the front dashboard trim off and all the wires that I could see looked OK, and I checked every inline fuse I could find which were all fine. I also swapped out the control unit for another one, which also made no difference. Fuse box fuses also checked. Front and back buzzers look OK, and I know about the switch in the box in the boot.
But I learnt recently that the TPA800 needs programming when its installed. The car was sat for years with a flat battery before I got it, so I'm wondering if it needs programming.
Apparently the procedure is to plug in the dashboard light/button to another connector hidden somewhere then it starts up in a different mode. Not sure where the connector is though - anyone ever done it?
Or any other ideas?
Thanks!
