• Q: How to replace the rear Parking Assist Distance Sensor on 2006 Buick Rendezvous?

  A: The first step to replace the rear object sensor requires removal of rear bumper fascia followed by disconnecting the rear object sensor electrical connector. The housing requires opening its locking tabs to remove the rear object sensor while pushing the spring will disconnect the sensor from the housing which frees the tabs for housing removal. The rear object sensor bezel should be pushed through the fascia in order to extract it. For the new rear object sensor installation you must reactivate the sensor and avoid refinishing any existing sensors and measure the paint's thickness with an appropriate gage that supports non-ferrous metal inspection. Place the keyhole of the rear object sensor bezel over the key before pressing the bezel against the fascia surface to install the housing into cutouts from the back of the fascia. The housing requires a spring installation where the spring keys should face both the top and bottom areas. Place the decoupling ring on the sensor before inserting it through the housing where the connector points toward the passenger side of the fascia until the sensor tabs lock into position. To finish the process you must attach the electrical connector to the rear object sensor before reinstalling the rear bumper fascia.
