I've just had an ARB rear bar fitted, and since then the reverse sensors have been playing up....

Are all 4 sensors across the back identical ??

Its a pain in the @rse to remove a couple of the panels to get the sensors out to check if there are printed part numbers on them - and if there is, I don't know where each one is meant to go (if they are all different :roll: )

I'll be following this to see how you get on. I've been considering an ARB rear bar but may look at alternatives if these cause issues that can't be easily resolved.

Good luck mate.

I run an ARB rear bar and have not had a rear sensor issue. Getting on 2 years now.

I have 3 sets of sensors and looms at home so will have a sqiz when I'm back Sunday and let you know. I believe they are all the same part numbers though and just the cages they sit in are different.

Followup...

I think a couple of the connects may have not been done up properly - and that's what was causing me issues..

As for the sensors - Yes they are all the same, but have different housings :)

Good job Rob. Sorry for not getting back to you I have been trying to move house over the last week or so..

Glad the outcome was positive.
