should be easy to test this

cheers

If I recall, I could not pull off the bumper and set it down without disconnecting that connector. So it doesn't extend much past the bumper as you remove it. I doubt you can access without removing the bumper. I want to say connector is on the passenger side (right side over on this side of the pond :) ).

cheers, at least its on the "outside" of the car , and i dont have to fiddle within the engine bay :) should be an easy job
HAHA

doubtfull :)

I knew I took pics and posted at some point. Here you go. Zoom into the right side of vehicle (left of pic) and you see the connector.

nice one ,
going to hopefully have a play saturday morning :)
bumper removal, then test loom with multimeter, and hopefully repair , at leisure :)

Well , that went well, NOT . took ages to get the bumper off, due to work getting in the way, and is it a seperate loom,

N O

its built into the main loom on mine , had a look at the state of the wiring , nothing wrong with the loom it seems,
accustic generator WTF is one of them :)

just thought id update you guys on my progress so far.
after the farce earlier with the bumper, and the slight removal of the loom insulation, I had another go today
removed the bumper, and re coated the loom with tape , inspecting as I went.. nothing un towards. then removed front pdc's from bumper and xhange each in turn with a new pdc sensor, nothing , still broke , thought sod it , and put it all back together and parked car on road . then remembered one of the members on here saying the car bongs when the key's in the ignition .
hmmmm I removed the drivers kick plate where the gong is and have a guess what I found ,
a bloody connector off !!!!!!!!!

re attached I now got working pdc's !!!!!!!!

victory is mine !!! :):):):):)
