Hello Badboy,

If you Take the actual Sensor Out ,spray some wd40,Let it settle for a while and it should start working , Or maybe you knocked the sensor slightly ?

Regards

Could be multiple thimgs,

If its a aftermarket fitment could be the fuse or wiring

Does it automatically activate when you select reverse?

If so check your reverse lights work!!

If they do it could be the feed off the reverse lights or the module itself!!

A little more information could help

Hello mate i can't tell whether its aftermarket fitting as i bought with the car, it does normally work when i select reverse, the reverse lights are working, so i'm guessing it could be the switch, i've been told it maybe the switch in the gearbox, so will have to jack it up and have a look if not then i don't really know?
