Parking Sensors - Fused I Think!

[Comhander]

Hi

 

Hoping someone is able to help.

 

Car

2001 2.3iAuto Ghia

Problem:

Whilst refitting radio/Air Con facia I shorted out the wires from the Parking Sensor switch. Having done this the car will not start.

Other factors:

No green footbrake indicator on speedo - shows needs footbrake to move from Park.

Non standard Parking Sensor switch - Illuminated switch - 4 connections 3 used - no Ford connector - spades used.

 

Questions:

What fuse is likely to control the parking sensors?

How is it linked to the ignition?

Any other questions or suggestions?

 

Here's hoping

It might be fuse 5 which seems to have a link to the autobox or possibly fuse 2

Spot on with No. 5 replaced and working. Thanks Kev.

 

Would you happen to know which 3 connectors I should use on an original parking sensor switch and 5 connections numbered 1-5 on the new switch? I have 3 cables Red, Green and Black.

My system seems to be live all the time on reverse and the switch is needed for the front - is this normal?
