Hi Everyone,

I've visited this forum in the past and found some really useful help and advice, I've been driving 'Ulysse's' for about 6 years now and so have had to solve a few issues along the way :)

But this is a new one and I'd really appreciate some help, / advice.

The parking sensor has just stared to go off in 'First gear' I noticed it the other day when I parked that the sensor did not sound when I was parking, when I came back to the car and started it up the sensor suddenly sprung into action, with the car in reverse and the clutch down, but then when I shifted to first the sensors were still sounding until I moved away from the parking space.

It happened at traffic lights the other day, I was sat in the cue in first gear and a car came up close behind and set them off again.

Another thing I have noticed is that the rear windscreen washer seems to be coming on intermittently as well, looks like both of these glitches have come at the same time.

Any ideas / pointers or advice would be much appreciated,

Jayp

As with most electrical faults, consult an exorcist, gremlins somewhere, Have you checked for a leak in the feed to the rear washer, inside panel on rear right of car?, parking sensor located beside pipe for washer.
 
hi digger58,

Yep I think and exorcist may be very useful, I checked the rear washer feed as I've had that issue a long time ago but it was all fine there.

The issue now seems to have grown a bit, the rear sensors are no longer working at all in any gear and the engine cooling fan seems to have stopped working :(, think a trip to the garage on Monday may be needed.
