• Q: How to replace the rear Parking Assist Distance Sensor on 2005 Buick Park Avenue?

  A: Begin the rear object sensor replacement process by taking off the rear bumper fascia followed by unplugging the electrical connector of the rear object sensor. Rear object sensor removal begins with opening the locking tabs on the housing structure before taking out the rear object sensor itself. Squeezing the spring allows the removal of the component from its proper housing while the removal process can begin by releasing the hooks mounted on the housing. Sliding the bezel through the fascia will detach it completely. After painting the new rear object sensor avoid refinishing previously painted sensors because excess paint will trigger system malfunction and verify that paint thickness does not surpass 6 mils with a proper gauge. The installation of the rear object sensor bezel requires users to press the ring into the fascia until flush then align the keyhole with the key before pressing the sensor bezel into the panel. Push the housing into the rear fascia cutouts while starting from its back side to achieve full security. The spring should be installed to the housing with its keys positioned on the housing sides. Fix the decoupling ring to the sensor before putting the sensor into the housing with the connector facing toward the passenger side and verifying that the sensor tabs lock into the housing cutouts. Connect the electrical connector to the rear object sensor before placing back the rear bumper fascia.
