Check all the fuses incase they go thru another circuit.
Also check your reverse light is working, sometimes the switch goes so the sensors dont know you are reversing

I'd personally start with the reverse switch.
I've opened my window twice THIS WEEK to tell someone reversing onto the kerb they have no reverse light.

sounds like rd rage :grinning:
now you have to reverse the karma and tell the next 10 people their reverse lights working
"Excuse me kind sir, were you aware that your car is functioning correctly, with no obvious malfunction?"
See the attached image - the switch is attached to the gearbox, you'll get an idea of exactly where from the exploded diagram.
If you have access to the service manual (FROM HERE) you want section MT page 11.

These days I'm thinking of congratulating everyone who doesn't crash into me, especially in car parks.
ESPECIALLY the moving wall
see now i recon the karma of your rd rage caught up :grinning:
only kidding i manage'd to do a similar thing on me k11 i had before
I actually believe my ding was the result of karma after I shouted at the other half for wrecking two tyres in one week...
at least one person stayed on topic
if the reversing light comes one but parking sensors dont is it still going to be this switch?

Same person
I'm not 100% on how parking sensors work, but something has to switch them on, and logic suggests to me it would be the same switch that turns the light on.
Then its time to check fuses
why is it that in this manual you link to there isnt a single bit of information on parking sensors? gone through every single pdf using the search function and nothing
Are you sure they're factory fit?
If not then they probably use a fuse that was sitting spare, or use another circuit, so you need to check all your fuses. Could even be as simple as a loose connection behind the bumper.

You won't believe this - my reverse light doesn't work!!! :suspect:
