garycrist Posted March 15 Author Report Share Posted March 15 Here is how to "Flat Rate " job or in civilian talk, this is how we can beat the clock! This is the view of the Left Rear quarter Panel where the Parking Aid Speaker is located. We will see it's location just below and to the rear of the seat belt entrance into the panel. Looking at the trim panel, separate the trim from the rubber seal. Peeling back the Quarter Panel the Speaker to be replaced is now visable. Prop the panel and replace and reinsert the panel into the rubber trim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Also check the grounds on the sensors. Believe someone else found that corrosion caused the sensor array to fail resulting in no sensor detection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycrist Posted March 18 Author Report Share Posted March 18 (edited) Thank you much for the tip. I had tracked the problem down a long time ago. I just did not know where the speaker was exactly and I was too lazy to tear the trim panel out. Also for someone else in the future. Now that I found it a new part will be put in in no time!

garycrist Posted March 21 Author Report Share Posted March 21 After replacing the speaker it is FIXED. IIRC Forescan read the failure as the "Parking Aid Speaker". As shown in the above pictures, the speaker the black round disc in the bottom, is held in by 2 push pins. They will be pried from the body with one's pry bars(s). The opening is big enough to fit my 72 YO hands between the panel and body. If one drops the speaker, fear not as the wire holding the speaker is attached the the body so it will not drop far. There is a small push tab to depress to remove the wiring harness from the speaker. Install the new speaker into the speaker socket. If one desires the speaker may be reattached or stuff behind the panel away from the seat belt. FIXED! It took 10-15 minutes and I am slow.

Tim W. AZ Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 What was the malfunction to make you have to change the part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycrist Posted March 21 Author Report Share Posted March 21 (edited) It would show a <CHECK PARKING AID>. Then we would reset. Edited March 22 by garycrist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Haz sent me a link to this. It is perfect thread. Like Garycrist, I searched forever getting bad intel and this was perfect. My black seatbelt definitely made this hard to locate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
