mine is not working eather. All of them sensors click but when I push to activate pdc it flashes and beeps. What could it be? where is the main controller located on a 05 x5 4.4? realoem.com says the main relay or controller has been discointinued.

Thanks

Thanks for the input guys! I'm also having the same problem with the rear sensor. and my passengers agree that the sensor is not working properly... simply because I leave it beeping until they go crazy! Anyways, I'll stick to the clicking check, not the shocking! lol. Peace.

I have checked all my sensors and found one to be not "clicking" so I took it apart and put it back together again and it "clicks" now but I'm still getting the long beep sound and PDC light flashing when I reverse.

Does anyone know why this will still be happening as the sensors are all "clicking"
What else could I check to get my PDC working again?
Please help as this is driving me mad

The easiest way is to read the faults, it'll actually tell you which sensor is bad. But you need a GT1 or GT1 equipped shop for that unfortunately...

Is GT1 the computer they use to plug in and get error codes?

Where is the Main harness located ? I'm having trouble again and stared to think it's wiring up stream of all the functioning sensors
