Fitting Backscan Parking Sensors

zaly

Hi all,

I'm trying to fit parking sensors to my Renault Scenic. All was going well until it came to attaching them to the reversing light. They come supplied with snap lock connecters but don't really explain how to use these. Does anyone have any advice? Don't really want to pay the garage £50 to fit them as I think its a fairly simple process once you've worked it all out.

they clip onto the live feed to your reversing lights.

If you examine spnap lock connector you will see two parallel channels. One is straight through one has a stop.
Lay your stop light wire in the straight through channel and the sensor wire in the one with the stop. (Do not remove any insulation) Use pliers to force the metal blade into the body of the connector. When is home flip the plastic clip over to cover it.
