Parking Sensors not working since heavy rain
This happened twice before where after heavy rain, my reversing sensors started to make a small beep as if they were shorting.
Then they stopped working altogether and within two or three days they started working again. Never really thought anymore of it other than its an old car (2003/53 Reg)
Due to some heavy rain in London last week. My reversing sensors started to make the same weird shorting sound again when reversing then eventually failed. They have not made a single noise in over a week now.
What could this be? A fuse? Bad cable connection? Module failed/wet? Best place to start, fuse?
Thanks for your help.

You may find a puddle in your spare wheel well, if so it's likely from the seal around the lights and or boot seal
Good luck

Is there a fuse that I should check?

Driver's Handbook will show what fuse(s) pertain to operation of the sensors. In my handbook, Section 6 Roadside Emergency covers, among other topics, the fuses. Make sure all fuses are good before troubleshooting.
