Hi, my reverse sensor beeps randomly when no obstruction and in reverse after there has been rain. Do you know why as it is fine when the weather is dry. Thanks.

    Hi Tracy collard, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box? Check under the bumper to see the wiring. Is the connector sealed? If not, disconnect to check for corrosion. Clean, reconnect and seal up with electrical tape.

    Hi Jeff, thanks for your help. I have looked at the wiring and it appears to be exposed. There is also moisture around the area about 10cm along the cable near the junction connector. I have not taken the cover off to inspect it. I had the car repaired after extensive hail damage a couple of years back and have had the problem ever since. Although it is only when it rains and we don't have much rain so time has just run away with me. There is no warning on the dash to state that it is faulty so I assumed it was caused by water entering but just haven't had that confirmed. Thanks for your help.

Well the best suggestion i could give is if your handy with tools pop them out clean the lens well and the connectors, apply electrical grease to the contacts that should help from water interference if that doesn't help its possible they are slowly going out, there are aftermarket backup sensors that are hardy and easy to install and not as costly as the oem parts good luck

My 2016 polo vivo jus gave me beeping sound whilst driving...what can be the problem

Not enough information. Please use the Comment button with more information and I'll try and help you more.
I need I nformation like..... Is it one beep or lots of beeps? Is it when you are moving? Is it when you are Not moving? Is it both? Do you have passengers in the car when it does it? Does it only do in when it is raining? Does it only do it when it's dry weather?
Try Looking at the simple things first.
- Are all the doors closed properly?
- Is the Hood and trunk closed properly?
- Is there a warning light on the dashboard?
- Is there a message on the dashboard display?
- Is there something turned ON that is normally turned OFF? ( Fog lights, air conditioning, reverse sensor).
- Is there something turned OFF that is normally turned ON?
- Check all of the switches and buttons in the car to see if they are where they normally are.
- Check all of your tyre pressures. Some cars will beep if they are too low.
- Check your screen wash bottle. Some cars will beep if it is too low.

My ford focus zetec reverse sensor comes on when i turn on the ignition. It stays on constant while i am driveing not beeping just a constant drone

It sounds like one of the sensors mounted in your bumper is bad or you have something obstructing one of them, mud, snow, etc.

unplug them one at a time until the noise stops, that will be the defective one

Before you replace the injectors have them do an injector balance test. Normally wet weather does not effect fuel system. Sounds more like you have a crank or cam sensor acting up.

I installed the parking sensors yeaterday and now they continue to beep after I put them in reverse. I did the test where you turn on the ignition but not start the car and then put the lever in reverse....

hello i would like to help but can you give me information on the sensor kit you installed. some systems to beep and some only beep when the sensors detect something. also if they work fine with out the engine running but then don't work properly when the engine is run this could be there is to muck voltage for the sensors, some sensor kits are saying they are 12v, this is correct 12 volts, but the charging system on most vehicles are 14 volts, so you may have to fit a regulator to the feed wires to the sensor. you would need a 12 volt regulator board. this will stop any power going over the 12 volts to the device.

My Bmw e-36 sunroof doesnt open it makes a load clicking sound, we have changed the motor in the sunroof but still doesnt work

check for any obstructing rain/weather strips along the short sides of the sun roof that may be obstructing the glass, another test you can do is where the sunroof switch is located there is a greater piece of the headliner that you can pry off. there you will see the motor of the sunroof. Use a 7mm alan tool to manually open the sunroof so you can observe any obstructions.

How do I fix a leaking sunroof?

I beleive the issue may be more the drains from around the sunroof. The factory sunroof typically have some small drain or weep holes to allow rain water to drain away (eaier to get rid of the water then hold it back) with the sunroof fully open look for these small drain holes and try running a fine wire thru them to clear any possible existing obstruction(s) If this is not the case I'd have to guess that the weather stripping has worn and weathered and would need replacement.
I hope this mau have assisted you,
Tom
