How To: Fit aftermarket Reverse Sensors

[pwheeler]

Excellent job sheppy1, and gave me the confidence to have a go at fitting some myself.

Had a bit of a head scratching few hours when I was doing mine as lost all power to the tailgate. Didn't realise until it started raining and I shut the boot, only to find that it wouldn't open again!! Managed to open it (eventually) using the manual override inside the boot, but just couldn't figure out what had killed the electrics, as I had only fed the new wire through to the tailgate ready to connect to the reversing light feed. Thought it might be a major fuse or a dodgy earth but in the end it turned out it was a connecting block in the boot pillar which couldn't have been connected properly. When I put my arm up the boot pillar to feed the wire through, I must have knocked the connecting block out. A bit awkward to join it back together blind but a big sigh of relieve when everything started working again.

Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else hits the same issue.

Thanks again for your brilliant guide
