B Klasse Parking Aid Problem

Good call on the control module and fuse. I will check that. As for recent work, nothing major, just routine servicing. When you say 'bonkers,' do you mean completely non-functional, like mine, or just intermittent errors? Also, where is the control module located exactly?

Yeah, 'bonkers' meant totally dead – no parking assist at all. The rearview camera was also affected, making reversing a nightmare. The control module location can vary slightly, but it's usually behind the trim in the trunk, near the spare tire well. If it's not a fuse, and you're not comfortable with wiring, I'd take it to a workshop. It could save a bigger headache later.

Thanks for the advice. I checked the fuse box and the radar sensors but nothing obvious. I ended up taking it to a shop as suggested. It turns out it was a corroded connector on one of the sensors, just like I thought. 90€ and it's fixed. I appreciate the help!

I had a similar issue on my B Klasse where the parking assist went completely bonkers. First, check the control module, as it could be a simple fuse issue. Also, has there been any recent work done on the car that might have disturbed the wiring to the parking sensors?
