Do they do anything at all Kim?

 

With reverse gear selected, place your ear close to each sensor in turn and see if you can hear a faint buzzing noise.

 

Just a thought... you haven't got them disabled at the overhead console switch?

there isn't a switch for them in the overhead console :(

OK. Not every car had one.

Do the sensors buzz?

Ok got hubby to stand behind the car n I put it in reverse............. No noise at all from the parking sensors. Wonder if the fuse has been removed

[Raistlin]

The only fuse I can find would be fuse 29, a 5A fuse in the passenger compartment fuse box.

 

That fuse, however, also has links to voice control and the Front Electronics Module.

 

Worth an initial check though.

You must have a very trusting hubbie if he's willing to stand behind the car while you put it in reverse  Ha, ha, :D

Sorry this doesn't help with your problem does it.

Just standing behind the vehicle won't be close enough to here them working, you have to put your ear on each one to hear a rapid clicking noise if they are working, better still get one of those cheap mechanic stethoscope and listen to each one.

That's what hubby did. Very trustingly put ear to each sensor
