Front Parking Sensor Stuck On

[Bald SUP Dude Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Bald SUP Dude]

Hi, I have a Kakadu with the front parking sensors that have been fitted into a ARB bullbar earlier this year. All was going great before and after I had the bullbar fitted and I never turn off the Parking Sensor function.
Today I jumped in my car and as soon as I put it in drive the sensor beeps even though there is nothing in front. The display shows the middle area as obstructed as if it was actually touching. I got out and wiped all the sensors and made sure they were clean but no difference. When in reverse the system is working fine so I think it must be localised to one or both of the middle front sensors.
We had heaps of rain last night in Sydney and it is still raining so not sure if that could be contributing.
Any ideas?

Cheers

It happens to me occasionally (ZR, ARB Sahara). Water is usually the culprit, and drying the sensors works for me. You may need to pop out the sensor or have a look at the connectors...

Clean the surface of the sensors, these ultrasonic sensors are quite sensitive.
When i got my car new, there was a small scratch (Damn) and i left the car at the Dealership Auto Shop to have that scratch resprayed and when they delivered it to me the sensor was always beeping as if something was close.
Not sure what they did since i had to leave the car for another day but at least they sorted it out and told me they just cleaned the sensors thoroughly.
