No rear pdc or reverse lights. Have already replaced switch.

hbz · 05-25-2013, 01:57 PM

Evenin, all!

I have a 2009 E91 318i LCI manual with (rear only) pdc and no i-drive.

My reverse lights and pdc are not working. When using the stereo audio settings I can access the pdc volume. The radio goes loud (odd) and then I can adjust the volume of the pdc beeps.

But, when I select reverse I get no pdc beeps and no reverse lights. My first thought was the reverse switch, which i have just this minute replaced with no luck and I'm gutted.

any ideas, gang?

Cheers!
chris.

Fuse for reverse lights.
Fuse for reverse sensor module.

Well you know my car has a wrap, i've been getting annoying parking sensors error. Sometimes the front works but the rear doesn't or vice versa. I got fed up aland removed the wrap on one sensor and i never had a problem lol. So yeah the car looks werid now with both jetwash cover gone and one pdc sensor is silver !!

Bump....

I have replaced the reverse switch, I have tested both reverse light bulbs and have checked and tested fuses 7 and 63..

I couldn't remove the rubber boots going to the rear "hatch" but did try a good wiggle with the car in reverse and the ignition (not engine!) on.

Before I take it to the local "specialist", do you have any ideas of other simple fixes, gentlemen?
