Honestly I've been chasing a supposedly bad rear sensor on my 09 Ford Smax, computer said it was the rear right sensor, removed it and swapped it with the working left rear, same thing. Chased the cabling all the way to the sensor control module and tested everything for continuity... All fine. So i be assumed I'll need a new control module at 225 quid from ford.... Balls. Sat in the bath hunting for other fixes, came across this video. Doused all the sensors in wd40, wiped and doused again.... Put her in reverse.....bugger me it works. I can't believe this fix works. Thank you so very much!
You wouldn’t believe. I sold my Hyundai Tuscon to a dealer yesterday. The car hasn’t been collected yet and still in use. Guess what!? The parking sensors stopped working on the day I sold it!!! Just used your WD-40 trick and they are working perfectly again. Cannot believe what I am seeing! Thanks a lot!
I used a portable vacuum (18v Milwaukee) I put the hose on the blower side of the vacuum and used a crevice attachment (this increases the speed of the air) and aimed it at each sensor while varying the angle of directed air and it worked. No direct contact between the vacuum attachment and car panels/bumbers.
I was very skeptical of this but decided to try it on my 07 Silverado. My wife had washed my truck and I had not driven it for 3 weeks since I was away for work. When I turned it on I found the Service Park Assist message and found my sensors were not working. When I saw the price for each was over $200 I said what the heck, it can't get worse. But to my surprise after spraying all 4 of them with WD40 and turning on my Silverado, the sensors started working and the message no longer came back. Thanks for the trick!!
Been dealing with this issue for several months now on my Buick Lucerne. Thought i was going to have to get new sensors ..This worked for me instantly. Thanks champ 💪🏾
Spot on. 2014 ford Cmax with "Parking Aid malfunction. Service required" message. Spayed the rear bumper sensors with WD40 some crud also came out. But back to normal working. Great fix. Thanks for posting this video. How many drivers have put their car into the Ford service centre without trying this hack?
Thanks for the valuable tip- Had problems with the camera in the back of the car-- did not work at all- used WD40- after 1 hour it worked perfectly again. 6 euros for WD40- we saved at least 500 euros on your tip.
Thank you, this really works, tested on Peugeot 508 SW 2015! Haven't drove our car for 6, 7 days. Car was outside under the car cover and past 6, 7 days we had all kidns of weather condition: snow, rain, light winds, up to -8 Celsius over the night, few sunny days.... Yesterday decided to take out cover from the car, it was below 0 Celsius and because of rain, snow, sun and cold, there was a lot of snow on the top od car cover and car cover was like a cardboard paper almost completely glued to the car. We had to use a lot of water temperature around 25 Celsius (never use hot water, glass could easily brake if it's really cold outside!) to "soften" the car cover. Finally we did it, car cover was removed. Some half an hour later tried to start the car, it started without a problem but on the main screen car gave us a worning that something is in front of car but in front of the car there was nothing at all. At first we thought some of the parking sensors on the front of the car got faulty. We took a short drive and every single time we stopped car gave us a working that something is in front of the car really close, it was so anyoing. Did some research and found your video on RUclips so decided to give it a chance. My WD40 bottle was almost empty so I had to use something else: cheap W5 lubrication spray from LIDL, not as good as WD40 but I had nothing to loose. I've sprayed all parking sensors in front and on the back of the car two times each, it was still cold outside, left it to soak for a half an hour. Started the car and: voila, no more parking sensors warning! Wife did a few circles around the car, 50cm to 20cm from each parking sensor, to test if all car sensors are working propperly and they did, problem solved! Guess some amount of ice formed around one of few front parking sensors, they were "thinking" there is a close obstacle in front of the car. All in all problem solved, no more parking warnings yesterday or today, hope it will stay that way. You've earned yourself one more sub, thanky you!
Was about to bring my Audi A4 to garage to get parking sensor problem looked at when I came across this useful video so I gave the WD40 a go and did all my sensors. All working and a complete success. Thanks so much for this quick fix. 👍
Tried and proven worked! Thanks loads! One of my sensors have been crazy beeping when there is nothing near it for a while now. Now it's working as it should. Thanks again!
@@gursimransekhon688 that's a misconceptions actually. If you truly need a good lubricant, WD-40 is not it. It frees up squeaky hinges and rusty threads, etc, but that's not as much from lubrication as it is Water Displacement (product stands for Water Displacement - 40th Formula). Draws moisture out, thus helping prevent/fix rust or in this case, clear up a sensitive electronic sensor.
What a simple trick! It worked on my 2008 Toyota Sequoia instantly. It has been fussy this winter. I tried washing and drying the front sensor, thinking it just got a bit dirty without success and the new sensors are very spendy. I sprayed it liberally with WD40 and the sensor alarm went away immediately. Thanks George.
My Hyundai ix20 sensors were on permanently (no beeping). Was going to take it to the main dealer and expect a huge bill as usual. Saw your video and hey presto, worked like a charm. Thank you for the video.
Great tip, I own Vitara 2018 and facing same problem, I visited Suzuki 3S and they asked $ 206 apart of labor charges with one day vehicle to be parked in garage. Really thankful to you man. Zee Zee Pak
WOW!!!....Thanks George I tried this and it WORKED!!...I've had this niggly problem on my e93 intermittently, for the 3 years, now after trying your hack, now sorted in 2 minutes, Thanks again.
My car is book in next week . I stripped the plugs sprayed them but still buzzing . Just seen this ad went out to try it and it worked 🤣👍 Thank you . I didnt believe it but thought its worth a try .
Thank you very much. My Vauxhall Mokka was giving "Parking Assist Temporarily Unavailable" and giving a loud Bong sound every time I started the car and every time I came to a halt. It was driving me nuts. I sprayed WD40 into the sensors but it did not fix the issue straight away. However the next morning it was working perfectly.
After having a shorted sensor which destroyed the module in my e61, I changed every sensor, module and both front and back wiring looms and still couldn't get the system to work. I did this last night and have my parking sensors back. Cant actually believe it. Thank you!
My reversing sensors stopped working, didn't even know about the switch to turn it on/off, I had caught it by accident and switched it off, thinking how much this will cost to repair, so a great bonus to turn it off and everything worked again. Thank you.
Thanks for this information. I was reversing yesterday (23.12.22), watching the camera in the car. Unfortunately my sensors wasn't working, I was relying on them (beeping) there was no beeping. I hit a car bumper. Thank God nothing serious happened, not even a scratch. The lady was very very furious 😡I told her sorry a million times.. Told me she was going to ring the police. She took photos of my car and I did the same. I'll certainly use the WD40 to clean my sensors. Thank you V much.
Mate , my Jag xf parking sensors stopped working properly the rear ones , I said to my Mrs , I will give it ago , it only bloody worked, top man thanks 🙏
THANK-YOU! That sensor alarm was driving me crazy when I backed up. I must have had water in there after I washed my truck. This worked on my 2014 Nissan Frontier.
This worked on a 22 Black Edition Ridgeline, thanks! Front passenger side sensor stopped working properly after a rainstorm but the driver side worked still. All work as intended now!
I honestly cannot believe that worked. My Model S's sensors started going bonkers the other day after a wash and I tried this hack and boom lol. Saved me hundreds... thank you!
Hey there! Hitting you up from the US, I just did this on my wife's 2012 Ford Focus and it worked like champ! I used Tool Box Buddy spray fluid rather than WD-40 but they're all pretty similar. Sprayed it down, cleaned it up and waited a while to let it work. Tried it a couple of hours later and the problem was fixed. On the Focus the sensor made a continuous beeping sound rather than the repetitive chirp and now it functions like new. Thanks for the post, I'm sure the shop would've charged me at least $200 for that.
Dear George! Many thanks for your video and your know how, you saved my money (EUR 180,00). I've had the same problem with my VW Tiguan, the dealer changed the sensor a month ago, after one day with snow and water on the highway, the problem was the same. Now it works!!!!! Thank you very much, Andi
Thanks George for the tip, mine were not working, I think it was caused by left over residue from waxing. I used the WD 40 and they started beeping like a charm.
Worked on my Ford Ranger. The night before was a deluge of rain, had an issue with the passenger rear reverse parking sensors. After a quick blast of WD40 and waited a few minutes and it sorted out the issue.
Thanks a lot George. WD-40 made the job in my Toyota Excite Hybrid. The sensors showed continuously zero distance any time. After spraying WD-40 twice (with one day interval) the problem disappeared.
Many thanks for this it’s worked!! I came across this when looking for a video on how to remove my bumper thinking I need to replace the two which weren’t clicking, but all working fine now!
My Tesla Model 3 was reporting that something's constantly really close to the rear left sensor, beeping and warning every time I was driving slowly. I tried this trick, and 24 hours later it's working like normal again!
I find this error occurs after heavy rain. If I clean out, use blower and WD40, then wait a few days when warm weather back, fault disappears. Has worked last 4-5 times. Not to say this will work in the future as wear and tear occurs. When I use the blower, always amazed how much water there are in the sensor gaps. Anyhow, give it try. Can’t hurt.
So you mean ur car was beebing with nothing infront ? And u use the wd40. And it is gone ? Cause i have the same issue here some time its beeebing with nothing behind and sntimes it works perfectly! So u advice me to use the same trick ?
This strategy worked for me multiple times until recently. Now one of my front sensors will not work regardless of WD40 use.....New sensors for my Lexus are about $250 each not including installation labour.
Hello, I sure hope you can answer this. I bought a used Venue SEL 2022 last December 2022 and now the sensors that go “beep beep beep” when I get too close to the car in front of me makes that beeping sound and I like that. Now the beeping stopped I can’t get anyone to figure out how to get it to work again not even the Hyundai corp office. I sure hope you can help. Thank you.
Hi, at 3:06 you were using something to check the function of the sensors....it looked like the sensor went a bit red and beeped. Can you tell us what you were using please
Hi, tryed this tip and worked for a cupple of days each time, then just didn't want to work any more. I have just been to the garage and had the codes cleared as it was throwing up codes for all 8 sensors. I don't think all 8 are broke what would you suggest to do now please?
I think I have ice behind the sensors. We had heavy rain then bitter cold for 2 days and my sensors are flatlining. WD40 probably wouldn’t work on the ice?
Can you put something on them to stop water from getting inside the sensors??? I also heard it's the boxs inside the bumper, one on each side, that might have to be replaced, or dried out, and sealed.
Hi do you what is the problem if my camry reverse sensor has the electricity feeling when I put my hand at the sensor indicate that it work but it didn't work
when your parking sensors weren't working was your check eng light on? And after they started working, (after WD 40 application) did your check eng light go away too?
How do i know if i have rear sensor ? Because i have the little dots on the back side but it never makes the biep noice when i drive backward. On the frontside it beeps very well ? I have rear camera. Is it possible that i dont have rear parking sensor?

I think I have ice behind the sensors. We had heavy rain then bitter cold for 2 days and my sensors are flatlining. WD40 probably wouldn’t work on the ice?
Can you put something on them to stop water from getting inside the sensors??? I also heard it's the boxs inside the bumper, one on each side, that might have to be replaced, or dried out, and sealed.
Just don't spray water directly into them
This worked for a short while on my bmw x1 … do you think I need to do it again?
Hi do you what is the problem if my camry reverse sensor has the electricity feeling when I put my hand at the sensor indicate that it work but it didn't work
After I went to a high pressure car wash my sensors stopped working, I’m gonna try this for my 2008 Nissan Armada. Praying it works.
Did it work?
when your parking sensors weren't working was your check eng light on? And after they started working, (after WD 40 application) did your check eng light go away too?
no answer? 😕
didn't work for me Alfa same unit as BM. Thanks any way, useful to know.
Thanksss worked on my Jeep Renegade
Washed the car, new car, after two days censor would not work followed your instructions and wow!they are now working Thank You
You’re welcome Linda!

This is very very good. Thank you so much didn't know that.
Do you know how to fix the rear camera view? The sensors work, but it only shows a black screen when backing up 😵💫
