Anyone have an aproximate cost to replace a bad sensor? Does it require bumper removal? Looks like I have a bad one, and it won't go away

ok I bought my 3GS300 used when I bought it it came with a missing sensor on the front bumper passenger side, will I have to get this from the dealer or can I get it from another source, the system works when I turn it on but it just keeps beeping and flasing red at the exact spot

Best bet is to check forum sponsors. Perhaps Sewell?

My front left sensor is going crazy the last few months. I hope I do not have to pay for that silly thing.

why not just turn the sensors off if they are causing all this trouble?

funny thing about my missing sensor, the other day I finally got around to changing out my fog light bulbs and low and behold what was hanging inside my bumper but the missing sensor at first I wasnt sure wat it was I thought it was some kind of relay but when I took a good look at it I realized it was the sensor. so I grab it pushed it back into the empty slot snapped right in now everyhthing working perfectly
