So I've searched for a couple of hours now and haven't found anything that is the same as my problem.:typing:
I have been able to cross some things off the list though.
First of all is the problem. It is on a 2001 MY, built in (I believe) August 2000. It has the front and rear PDC.
The PDC light flashes and I'll get what could be the rear tone sound for 2-3 seconds. Then nothing else other
than the flashing light. This happens 90% of the time, the other 10% the system works. After spending
13 years fixing helicopters, I've learned to hate intermittent electrical issues.??????
I have gone around and checked all the sensors. They all give the clicking noise so I'm positive that a failed
sensor in not a problem. I have removed the PDC Control Unit, inspected the circuit board and pins and there
were no signs of loose or broken solder paths. All the pins and sockets were in fine shape as well.
The system was working fine until a month ago. When I took off for vacation I left the car at a shop to have
the burnt out pixels fixed. Can something be knocked loose when the instruments are removed? I ask because
Timmay mentioned something about a module (speaker) above the brake/clutch/gas pedals that he had an
issue with. Any other connections that could cause issues?:dunno:
It's -5C right now and as dark as the inside of a cow so I've finished for the night. I'll be phoning around looking
for a PDC Control Unit at a recycler tomorrow but would appreciate any other tips as well.
Thanks. :thumbsup:
