Installed some front parking sensors yesterday - Just 2 at the front.
Wired to a switch on dash, and powered from a ign live from behind the glove box. Neg terminal is the car battery neg, (but have also tried a standard earthing point in the engine bay)
All the "gubbings" ie, the box and such are in the engine back, stuck to the battery. The buzzer is behind the glovebox, and the wire goes through the rubber grommit below the wiper arms area.
Now this is the weird bit.
Everything works perfectly, when the Ign is on.
When the engine is running, it goes into a frenzy.. constantly buzzing.
At first I thought it was the earthing point, so I moved it from the battery to a suitable bolt in the bay, with same results.
Any ideas? Else I'll have to fit in a 9v battery and run it off that... grr...
(ps. managed to fit the sensors in the bumper without removing anything... quite chuffed!)
As always, and ideas / hints / tips are welcome....
