My meriva (B, 2011) has had a rear end shunt at some time, and had a replacement bumper, car was specc'd to have the full front and rear park pilot, it has the button on dash, but it's dead,
the rear has a cheapo reversing sensor system installed, and i wanted to re-establish the factory park pilot system sometime.. i first thought the front bumpers been replaced too, and has no sensors in it... but no, the sensors are there and still wired up, then i removed some trim panels in the boot, and found what i think are the park pilot plugs... are these them??
If they are, i think i need a park pilot module (some on ebay from 11 quid)
4 sensors... chinese copies are 4 for 25 quid.
The rear loom that connects the sensors to the purple plug? that is a bugger to get cheap, might have to try and source the connectors and make me own loom up,
And i'd need the stick on sensor mounts... a quick search shows some for BMW's at a fiver for 4!!, and some for vauxhalls ones like 7 quid plus each! yet they say they are the same size sensors,
Wonder if i could buy the clip in sensor mounts as used on the retro fit park pilot system, or pull some off a scrapper and bond them on myself..
oh, then i need to ensure the holes drilled in the bumper for the cheap reverse sensors are in the right place and size.. then add the park pilot back to the system in the BCM and IPC,
have i covered it all? anything to watch out for, and any one got a rear sensor loom going cheap... or all or some of the parts i need for a good price.
