now that the car has thawed out I seem to have developed an intermittent problem with the front parking sensors
Every now and again (seems to be mainly in the first five of minutes after startup) the front parking dislay in the car lights up just the two red bars in both displays and the bleeper for the right hand one sounds. After about 5 seconds, the system switches itself off and has to be turned back on using the rocker switch in the centre console.
Before the recent cold weather and even during it everything was fine, this fault only appeared yesterday when the temp rose above freezing.
Has some damp got into the system somewhere? If so what's most likely to be affected sensors or loom and how easy is it to test the sensors?
Any suggestions/input?
