you can reset them somehow. that should fix it.

cant remember how you do it though. i think you hold the down button for X seconds whilst starting the car or something like that????

its all of them.

took to the dealer today. they said the fuse is blown:eek: because when they did the rear parking sensors, they might have caused something to the wiring!
they replaced the fuse but couldn't 100% guarantee it wont fail again, if it did, they asked me to bring it in again and do a thorough check!

even for warranty, you can go to any Holden dealership.

can u go under the bumper and check the wiring yourself? make sure there are no dodgy connections and everything is earthed correctly.
