Electrics: - Parking Sensors, DVD's

Hi my names Eric, please bare with me here as we have multiple issues.

Some time ago I lost my audio system and at the same time my, Sat Nav and Rear Parking Sensors stopped working.

As Volvo were looking for £1000 to replace the subwoofer I took advice on here and did the job myself for £105.

After changing out the rear Sub-Woofer / amplifier I have got my Audio Back i.e. CD player, radio and also my Sat-Nav back working perfectly.

However, no luck with the rear Parking Sensors, are they part of that system? Or is it just coincidence that they are not working?

The Parking Sensor Green LED light is not illuminating on the activation button. I tried swapping the button onto another channel and the LED then illumintaes, suggesting the original channel is faulty, there are 2 spare channels that I could possibly swap over to if that's feasible or could it be something to do with the sub-woofer aplifier?

Also, i'm getting a warning message that my my car alarm and Parking Sensors require to be serviced but not that they are faulty?

My rear DVD player screens also don't work but i'm sure this was prior to the loss of Audio Cd / Radio and other faults listed above. Are they connected to the Fibre Optic system which runs through the rear Sub-woofer?

The alrarm triggers on movement but the siren doesn't sound.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hi Guy's,

Being a relative newby here I didn't see the many posts regarding the Parking Sensor problems so I now have a bit of a handle on that. One question though, the Green LED on the parking sensor activation button on the consule is not illuminating, if I move the button and plug it into another channell it lights up. Does this suggest a problem with the sensors or the channel that controls the sensors.

I have now also notcied the car Alarm advice, re leaking batteries etc. so will try and source a replacement for that and try and changing it out.

I will have a look and see if I can find any previous with the DVD player units but was wondering if anyone can confirm if they are on the Fibre Optic system or do they stand alone.

Great site, so much info to sift through with many great money saving tips, already as stated before I have saved £900 from the advice I found, thank's to all who contribute.

Hi

Has your car got a sunroof out of interest? This can cause problems if it does.
Thanks
Ray
