Hi guys! Got my new bmax last weekend and have had a few problems. I've read some of the forums and am having a problem with the door open sensor while on motorway usually traveling over 100 kmph
The garage seem to think its only a sensor that needs to be modified!

Sorry of this seems a silly question but when I collected the new car the reverse light wasn't working so the garage fixes it straightaway but my question is this, are there only one reverse light?

There are two white lamps yet only one light works

Thanks in advance

Fuzzy

Welcome to the forum, Fuzzy!

I live in that even rainier place above you...!


I have broken mine, so I can't look at the reversing lights for you, I'm sure an answer will be along shortly...

Hi,From other posts on here if the door open sign is coming on it's the top bracket that needs adjusting:

But let us know if yours is something different - hope they sort it quick for you.

Thanks Dan ill let you know exactly what he says

In the meantime can you help confirm how many reverse lights there are?

As per my original post, there are two while light housings but dealer is saying there is only one light? Doesn't sound righ to me

The nearside reversing light is the only working one. Look closely inside the offside one and you will see a red reflection, no bulb.

It is a dissapointing trend that cars only have one reversing light. It would help the reversing camera to have two.
The Republic of Ireland appear to have a different range than the UK with less choices and more expensive, but may have a 5 year warranty. I was looking at the Irish Spec as my daughter lives in Ireland, are you in the North?

I am in Chelmsford and so far I have only seen one other B-MAX, an identical one to mine.

Thanks Makem, yes I can see that now. Bit cheap! lol
@rogerhume, yes it was the 5 year warranty and AA that helped me make the decision to go with it, however, I'm starting to get a bit annoyed that Ford have not resolved the alarm going off with the drivers door apparently open.

I rang the garage and asked them to contact Ford first. I didn't think there was much point in allowing a mechanic fart around with a sensor or bracket unless Ford tell them exactly what to do. It will only end up going back many times for same problem, like other users have said on other threads.
