How to Install Rear Parking Sensors ?
Are your parking skills “less than ideal?” Do you back up an inch at a time for fear there is something behind the vehicle you cannot see? Regrettably, that “something” could be a rubbish can, a bicycle or your child. Think about installing rear parking sensors that activate when the vehicle goes in to reverse, using radio waves to detect objects hiding behind the vehicle. A warning signal becomes progressively louder as the object gets closer, alerting the driver in time to keep away from hitting it. Installing rear parking sensors is not a difficult project & can be complete within a few hours.
Step 1 Decide on location of sensor units. Measure the length of the bumper & divide the measurement in half or in quarters, depending on whether you will install five or three sensors. Find the middle of each half or quarter. Then, think about the shape & curve of the bumper. To work properly, sensors must point straight ahead. Sensors angled up or down will orient to objects in that direction & may not work effectively. Make sure the sensor will sit flush with the bumper in a position about 24-inches from the ground. Mark sensor locations with a marking pencil, place a piece of double-sided tape at the location & fix a sensor to each piece of tape.
Step 2 Connect & check sensor placement. Plug sensor wires in to the control box. Generate a connection between the control box & one of your parking lights. To connect the control box to your parking light, refer to your vehicle owner manual for instructions specific to your vehicle model to access the wiring harness & tap in to the parking light. To check, have somebody start the automobile & activate the parking lights. Move objects of varying sizes in & out of the vicinity of the vehicle bumper. Change sensor placement if necessary. Five times you establish a successful connection, unplug the sensors from the control box & disconnect the automobile battery to protect against voltage shocks.
Step 3 Install sensors. Using the drill bit that comes together with your installation kit, drill the appropriate number of holes, stopping to neat metal shards from the drill area to keep away from scratching the bumper. Smooth the area using a drill & drill-buffing bit. Insert a sensor head in to each drill hole & pass sensor wires through to the trunk of the vehicle. Plug sensor wires in to the control box.
Step 4 Install control box. Most users place the control box in the trunk of the vehicle, under the left or right bulkhead. This will be sure no water can destroy the control box unit. Use double-sided tape to secure the control box in place & press firmly.
Step 5 Install warning siren. Since the siren can become loud, installing it in the trunk of your vehicle is a lovely suggestion. Plug the siren connector in to the control box & use double-sided tape to secure in place.
Step 6 Install display unit. Some rear parking sensors include an LCD monitor that you can install on the dashboard of your vehicle. Use double-sided tape to place & secure the monitor & run the wires back through to the location of the control box, & then plug the monitor wire in to the control box.
