My First Bongo

[AidanandDonna]

Hello All,

The missus and I have recently purchased our first Bongo, there are few things on it that don’t work, before I take it to a auto electrician wondered if any of you guys could enlighten me.

There are parking sensors on each corner of the car and a button on the dash, vie had a fiddle and tried to follow to cable but I don’t even know where it should end up.





Also there is a toggle switch on the dash which doesn’t appear to do anything





And finally there are some spot lights on the bull bar, I am a complete novice when it comes to cars, but I will give anything a go, will it be easy to wire these up, here is a picture of the connecter



Thanks in advance

Aidan

Welcome to the forum!
Regarding the corner sensors there should be a display on the top of the dashboard roughly central but angled towards the driver that shows the distance and also one in the rear visible via the mirror that shows the distance when in reverse. Only three corners (not the drivers corner) and the rear are covered.

Hello, Thanks for the quick reply

Unfortunately there is no display on the dash, doesn't look like anything has been removed

Here is a pic of the corner sensors

Hi, do you have a little black round rocker switch about 3 inches below the row of switches by the cigarette lighter / drivers left knee - thats where my sensors are operated from - they can be turned off and on.

Thank you! just went and tried it, works great the missus will be well chuffed with that, she is still struggling with the parking a bit.

I notice two things here. One, it says sound - on/off, so does it beep faster the closer you are?

Two, that's really close to the kerb parking there

Wish I'd had that bit of kit though before I bounced the back bumper off of some fallen down wall

Just went for a run down to the shops and thought i'd test out the sensors, but turns out the back two sensors aren't working they just keep flashing, but front two work great, will take a look tomorrow and see if theres a loose connection or something.

But yeh it does beep faster the closer you are, its a shame the back two dont work becasue i've already had a couple of close calls

You will find some block connectors behind the rear bumper as a starting point.

The toggle switch may well be the rear fog light
