Default Parking sensors won't stop beeping!

Today I was messing around in my XJR trunk and I was checking out the rear subs to see how they were mounted... so I pulled down the carpet backing that the trunk light sits on. I was also taking out my tail lights so smoke them out... I am not sure if any of these 2 things caused my problem but now my parking sensors are constantly beeping.... and will not go off.

In every gear it is beeping... and it starts beeping as soon as I turn the ignition key on. The beeping continues in every gear... Also when i stand to the rear of the vehicle the beeps become more rapid.

What is going on? How do I at least turn off or disconnect my parking sensors or the speaker to it?

Please help! This car has never done this...

lol.... well I reinstalled my tail lights and I think the beeping stopped... I guess it will constantly beep if your tail lights are disconnected?

Oh by the way, I smoked out my XJR tail lights with a design and I haven't seen anyone on the internet doing this to an XJR. So I will post a picture soon of what I did. I think they look great and gave it a more custom sporty look!

It was probably trying to tell you there was a fault with the system i.e. the reverse lights were disconnected.

My parking sensors are overly sensitive, both front and back, and beep at me all the time. I'm thinking of disabling them entirely by poking their damn eyes out.

Post some pix of your tail lights.
