Evening
Quick question.
I recently installed a towbar and universal electics, however the rear parking sensors are now disabled and a message comes up on the stereo to say they are disabled when I start the car.
Is there a way to re-enable them?
Thanks
Elliot

Buy a dedicated wiring loom that will solve the problem.

Screw that it was £17.99 vs. £100 haha!
It's not a major inconvenience it's just a bit odd that the rear sensors are disabled, wondered if you could manually turn them back on

but your warranty is probably void now by installing a universal kit that what landrover told me.

Depends on the dealer & how nice they are/how much attention they pay.
We've had warranty work done since with no questions asked
. Fitted the towbar myself cost all in all £160

It will be when you get a electrical problem then they will blame the towbar electrics.anyway getting back to the subject i'm sure someone else might be able to answer you question.
Good Luck.

That sounds a bit like the universal electrics are somehow creating resistance over the trailer circuit and it's thinking a trailer is attached. Sounds like the loom you installed might be faulty. Try returning it for a replacement?

Hmm strange, the trailer lights etc work perfectly find when it's plugged in.
I'll email the towbar people and see if they think it could be faulty

Hi, I fitted my towbar and universal electrics (I have done about half a dozen of my previous cars and always use the same electrics). None of them connect up to the reversing sensor circuit in any way. Sounds more like you have either forgotten to connect the sensor loom plug on the bumper to the main loom on the car (at all or correctly) or it has become detached

I'll PM you, if that's okay
