Default Frt parking sensor problem

I 've a UNEEK front bar fitted and the front proximity warning goes off either left or right side intermittently, I've checked the connections, snugness of sensors or any stray bugs but to no avail.
Would anyone know of what to check next?
This w/e I'll pull the main joiner apart again & look for a busted pin or moisture ingress? cheers

My front center sensors have been going off, I found that the number plate bracket was a bit loose and had moved off center, the sensor on that side was picking it up. I adjusted it back the other side too far, and the sensor on that side started picking it up. Had to get it dead center.

So perhaps there is something protruding from the bar enough for the sensor to pick it up?

I always have mine turned off, But when I checked if they were working fine after the bar install the front left was going off every now and then.

Ahem... mine too.

I've yet to find the time (read; inclination) to sort it out.

I had trouble when my ECB bar went on. Finally resolved two separate issues:
- sensor had to be exactly in correct position, then worked fine (see next point)
- O ring around 1 sensor had been lost by installer. Two months later correct part sourced and fitted, that one finally worked too.

Having said that, I leave em off 99% of the the time.
