Check the wiring and for physical obstructions etc.

wiring looks ok and no obstructions. do the sensors work this way ie making noise when put in gear and then nothing or does the noise mean there is a fault somewhere. thanks

they should only make beeps when you are close to touching something, it sounds like you have a problem.

Kevin,

It usually means that one or more sensors is faulty or has a bad connection.
