Parking sensor sounder replacement.

[R1CHV]

Hi All, 

managed to sort out my lack of beeping by sourcing a replacement from eBay. For £9.99!

For those that ever need to do this, it's located under the parcel shelf. 

Firstly you need to fold the seats down. 

Next remove the 3 large headed trim clips -circled in the photos

Next remove the covers to the car seat restraint clips 

Next remove the restraint clips by unbolting 

Next you can release the side bolsters to allow more shelf movement. There is a clip with a lever which releases the bolster

Now the fun bit.  Pull the parcel shelf away forward (into the car cabin) to get it clear of the seat latches

Finally lift the parcel shelf up - it will not lift easily and I used a piece of wood to wedge it up. You cannot see the speaker/sounder but it is located just to the right of centre and is retained by to plastic clips pushed into the metal shelf. To remove it I used a long flat bladed screwdriver and levered the sounder up. Once loose you can get the sounder clear of the shelf and then unclip the wiring.

installation is the reverse of removal  

Also for info this is how you access the centre belt pretensioner wiring should you have a B2292 code 36 airbag fault. The rear side pretensioners are located behind the side bolsters.

Hope this is of some help to people.

Will have to try this.

My reverse no longer "beeps" and it never occurred to me to consider there was a "beeper" anywhere. Strange really as I have fitted reversing sensors to my Puma complete with "beep"!

Reminds me of advice about eliminating the obvious!

Thanks for the post.

Hi. You can check each sensor by engaging reverse (engine not running but ignition on) and listening to the sensors. If you put your ear close to the sensor you should hear a crackling noise like static. If they are all working then I would look at the beeper.

Thanks Richard.

All sensors working. I even tried replacing the control box without any success.

I have ordered the same beeper as shown in your post so should it work, then fine. If not then £10 not such a big loss.

I will keep you posted.

Even considered fitting a reversing camera and video adapter for the built in screen so we shall see how it goes.

Regards
