Trax Fog Sensor Problems

I'm writing about a potential malfunction in my 2020 Chevrolet Trax diesel with 239644 km. The error memory stores a fog sensor error. Symptoms: the A/C not activating, spray nozzles freezing, and the mirror heating being inoperative. I suspect a defective cable or plug connection. Has anyone experienced similar issues?

Summary of the thread

A 2020 Chevrolet Trax diesel with 239644 km is experiencing issues with the A/C, spray nozzles, and mirror heating, all linked to a fog sensor error. The suspected cause is a defective cable or plug connection. It is advised to inspect the wiring harness and connectors related to the fog sensor. A diagnostic check at a workshop is recommended to confirm the malfunction and ensure proper repair.

A faulty fog sensor impacting the A/C, washer nozzles, and mirror heating all at once? That's unusual. I've seen quirky electrical issues in Chevrolets before, but this is a new one. Are you certain that all these problems started at the same time? It's possible you have multiple, unrelated issues compounding the situation. Have you checked any of the relevant fuses?

Thanks. Yes, I am certain the issues arose concurrently. I have not checked the fuses yet. Could you indicate which fuses are relevant to these systems?

Given the interconnected nature of modern vehicle electronics, a single faulty sensor can indeed wreak havoc on seemingly unrelated systems. My apologies for my initial skepticism. Pinpointing the exact fuse without schematics is difficult. Given the symptoms and your suspicion of a connection issue, inspecting the wiring harness and connectors associated with the fog sensor is prudent. Diagnosing electrical faults can be complex, possibly requiring specialized tools. A diagnostic check at a reputable workshop seems advisable to confirm the malfunction and ensure proper repair. The estimated cost for such a repair is around 95€.

I appreciate the advice. I will schedule a diagnostic appointment at a workshop. The likely cause being a defective cable or plug connection seems to align with the symptoms. Thanks again.
