From my recollection it was on the passenger side of the boot. The electrician dried it out and it worked as nothing was damaged. But a good auto electrician should be able to fix any components damaged without replacing whole unitStevo any further info to identify the unit in the boot and what was the detail of the remedy please
After not working for most of the year mine started beeping at me again about two days ago. I wonder if the hot weather has dried something out. I'll have to check that unit.
You can see it through the near side removable panel inside the boot (about 6 inch square).
Mine were working briefly in the summer but have now ‘flown south’ for the winter as well!
Was going to WD40 the heck out of the unit, but think I need to take the whole of the boot inside cover out to actually be able to disconnect the unit.
...and took it out for a drive today, on return, no parking sensors! They'll be back again next summer I guarantee it. Does anyone know where this module thing is located so I can have a look for moisture?
Here's the control unit:

Here's the inside of the control unit. Terrible dry joints along the top. Here's a photo of the other side too, which looks fine.

Gave them all some fresh solder:

And we're back in business:

It may be simply unplugging and plugging the unit back in might have fixed it, but I think its probably those dry joints being a little more conductive in the summer heat and failing in the winter cold. If anyone attempts this fix, remember to disconnect the battery to avoid fault codes.
Yowsers! How much trim did you have to remove to get to the blighter?! Looks like the whole boot!
Don't use WD40...use this :You can see it through the near side removable panel inside the boot (about 6 inch square).
