Hi All, just a quick note to those with the ARB Summit bulbar and front park assist sensors. my front park sensors had an intermittent issue with both inboard sensors going off, for no apparent reason- very annoying in city traffic or when manoeuvring around at car park speed. I e-mailed ARB about it and found that the issue lies with the paint on the bullbar, it seems to pool in the sensor cut out and applies pressure to the side of the sensor, triggering the false activation. the simple fix is to pop the sensor and plastic retainer out, and carefully file away the paint in the offending locations- (these should be evident by rub marks on the sensor body). Once opened sufficiently the sensor should slide into the cut out with very minimal resistance.

ARB also mentioned that if the wiring is pulled to tight it may also cause the cause drama, so worth checking while you are in there poking about.

hopefully this may be of help to anyone else stuck with an ear piercing beep at every set of traffic lights.
