Parking Distance Conrol Unit

[Dave-G]

I've checked FAQ's and search for parking distance control unit dont bring any help forwards, and felt for the sensors for clicks

 

The switch flashes and the alarm horn beeps for a few seconds - then silence. This is when I activate it either manually or by selecting reverse.

 

I know we've covered this on previous occasions but darnned if I can find it. Be advised please... If anyone starts telling me to listen or feel for clicks from the sensors - my wrath will descend apon you as I have already been there - and said so :huh:

The switch flashes?Mine doesnt..it just illuminates orange.......

you could always do the liste... oh you've tried that then :huh: personally couldn't hear a thing - had some trouble with them recently - disconnected all the plugs i could find used contact cleaner on them and now they work fine - we really could do with a place to repair these like the dutch cruise control units (see useful links)

I'm waiting for the supplier to call me back. I'd listed it as something that needs to be remedied before delivery - but it looks like they were carefull to park it in such a place that I would not be using the distance sensors on collection - and I am so naive!

 

Also noticed the front 'chrome fog lamp surrounds hanging off - Now that they've been out in the cold - as opposed to a nice warm showroom - the frikking hot melt glue they stuck them on with has separated - the retaining clips are broken!

 

Cant see any sign of water damage.

 

I might be spoilt for choice on warranty companies - The previous owner had not stamped the book at all - so it seemed unlikely that ford would continue with the 3 year warranty. So they gave me 1 year car care plan warranty provided I buy a second year which I did. I have now contacted the previous owners who do their own servicing (a nationwide leasing company) which ford approve of - and I'm told they'll stamp my book... which is winging towards them by recorded delivery.
