My sensors aren't working after the car has been sitting in the garage for a month. I checked the fuses located in the drivers side and found #5 15A had blown and replaced that - but the sensors still don't work. Everything else seems ok.

These were fitted by the dealer who is located an hour away and wants it for a day to fix.

Anyone got any ideas where/which fuse normally does the sensors?

Was the 15A the correct rating for the reversing sensor control unit? If not the control unit may have been stuffed. Do all your reverse lights work?

yep, reverse lights are OK. Everything else seems to work. That's why I thought the sensors may be on a different circuit to the main bus, with a separate fuse - but then they'd still need an input from the transmission selector.

Is this a retro fit (drawing power from a reverse light with an in-line fuse) or one that is part of the BEM? Ask the dealer what sort of installation it is and go from there.
