Backup Sensors

[wingman1231]

The backup sensors on my 02 STS work intermittently. One day they are fine several days latter they stop working. Caddy service states they cannot locate a problem. IS anybody out there with helpful information???? This vehicle is difficult to backup without the sensors.

sounds like a faulty laser sight, did they check that out... usually on a white board with hash marks to align them.

other than that check all your fuses, there are ones in the glove box and also in the hood. Both are different types...maybe not blown but could have jiggled loose.

i drive a 93 so, im not too familiar with your car... :wrench

I have a meeting with the dealer and will bring up those questions plus check the fuses myself. They are claiming there is too much paint on the sensors so they are going to measure the thickness. As long as this is warranty I don't mind but cost me time. Lucky I am retired hate to have this on my work vehicle.

Where would that laser board be located at???????

Problem located. The control module that is located in the right rear trunk behind the fender lining is the source of the problem. Some individual who tried to disconnect the harness from the module could not figure out the release latch and gave it a strong pull. This action stretched the wiring inside the connector so that any bouncing would cause movement and lost of connection. The wiring is so fine that it probably will not be repairable and will have to be replaced.
