Interesting video, as always, id imagine the water ingress has done some other damage to the reverse sensor system somewhere.....you mentioned a few of the places on these Fiesta's where water gets in, but one of the most common places you didn't mention is on the top corner seams of the hatch where the 2 body panels are joined, especially on the older models. I think the constant opening and shutting of the hatch weakens the seam..

Not been here for a bit, but your still a good guy, and still trying hard, well done

I did this about a month ago and the rear light seals were £7 each from Ford all the other shopping sites were alot dearer 👍

An easy way to fix the lights if the gasket is weak, put some Vaseline on the car body where the light sits, put a small amount of sealer on the light unit (old) gasket, they are sometimes foam type seals, refit before it dries, it makes the seal but the vaseline stops the unit from sticking, so you can remove it easy, I used Halfords instant gasket (orange stuff) worked a treat on my old mondeo rear lights

I like that fizz bom mark 😀😀

You can check the sensors , ignition on in reverse engine off apparently if you put your ear to the sensor you should he it click or make a noise if they do there ok no noise sensor may need changing , don’t know if you can check the front sensors like that , I found this advice on the Ford owners forum ,Good luck and I hope you find the fault soon

The feint light on the parking sensor switch is normal mark, it will fully illuminate when you select reverse. It shouldn’t flash the way your one does, also as mentioned in a previous comment, count the beeps as no doubt that will pinpoint where the issue lies (beep codes) Anyway keep up the good work and have a great weekend.

Hi Mark , drilling holes in the bodywork of a Ford lol always treat the bare metal other wise you will have metal moth, I take it the passenger wheel locking nut is shagged as you couldn't get the wheel off, that second hand module could be no good too

19:48 not sure you got enough sealant on 🤔😄🙈👍👍

I'd try a known good unit to check. As someone else said if it's a common problem that replacement unit might be goosed as well.

If you want to check if its a sensor issue - Put the car into reverse and put your ear to each one you should hear a clicking sound if they are working properly - If you hear nothing at all then its an issue further back.

Get well soon, and I sincerely hope that you do. I'm only just getting over a cold myself, and a nasty one it was too! No, but NO energy for days. Hope your ok? Shane. :-)

If you cover the vents with a bit of rubber will help, mine was coming in through the vents as they got stuck in

I’m not sure if you have to turn the switch “on” for the forward ones ?… Instead of buying a sensor, why not unplug them all (on the back) and try connecting them one at a time, and trying it then. Just keep unplugging and re plugging. It may help ?

Sounds a silly question but i had it with a jag xf if the sensors have been repainted over old paint and caused them not to work properly.

Mark, on my Jag the front sensors only worked when in reverse, so if the front of the car swung too close to anything the sensors would beep a different tone. Don't know if Ford's are the same. As mentioned in someone else's comment you can hear a quiet clicking if you put your ear to each sensor ( ignition turned on but not starting engine and reverse selected) check the rear first then the front. If any are not clicking they need changing. Might need forscan to code module to car?.

Parking sensors: the owners manual says that a three second sound on engaging reverse indicates a malfunction. The parking sensors are then disabled. It might be you need to plug in you obd software and check for a fault and reset it. I was also whether the replacement ecu actually works.

I could be wrong, but I suspect the beep code you get there means something. It could indicate which sensor has failed. One long beep followed by seven short could be pointing at a certain sensor. I work in IT and beep codes give you a good indicator of the problem.

The parking sensors not working doesn't effect the driveability of the Fiesta so just sell it as is. It'll hardly cause a huge difference in the price.

You need a fog it machine it not only decontaminates the car fully if there is leaks the fog escapes helping you see where the water may get in valeters use them to leave the cars smelling fresh specially if it’s been a smokers car

I had a similar issue on my old BMW, turned out to be a sensor. As someone else mentioned on here, for the reversing ones you should be able to put your ear to them and hear them clicking when the car is in reverse with the ignition on. Only other thought was is there a sensor near where the wiring was a bit chewed up? If so, maybe a sensor got damaged in a previous accident?

Have you measured the resistance across each sensor with a multi meter, if you get a similar reading across every sensor chances are it's not that. Then test continuity from the main plug to each individual plug to see if there's a break in a wire.
