Albea Parking Assist Failure

Hello! A faulty parking assist on a Fiat Albea? That sounds like it could be a pain. Given the symptoms, I'd suspect a problem with the wiring or connectors to the proximity sensors. It's like a chain – if one link is weak (a loose or corroded connection), the whole system fails. Have you had a chance to visually inspect the wiring and plugs near the sensors, especially those in vulnerable areas like the rear bumper?

Thanks for the quick response! I haven't checked the wiring in detail yet. Where exactly should I be looking? Are there any common spots where the wiring tends to fail on the Albea?

You're welcome! Think of your car's wiring harness as a nervous system; problems often arise where there's movement or exposure to the elements. Focus on the connectors near the parking sensors themselves, particularly those closest to the ground. Also, inspect the wiring where it enters the car's body. Given the low mileage and the symptoms, it's likely a defective cable or plug connection. Honestly, at this point, I'd recommend a workshop visit. The repair cost should be around 95€, according to my info.

Thanks so much for the detailed advice! Sounds like it's best left to the pros. I'll book it into the workshop and get them to check the wiring. Appreciate the help!
