2013 Gl450 BSA false alerts

Hello,

My 2013 GL450 passenger side Blind spot assist is throwing false alerts. Blinking red when turn signal is on and beeps loud. Turns to Red even when side line is empty thinking that there is another car in the blind spot. Any Idea why it's doing that? if it needs a replacement , how much a new sensor will cost and is it easy to replace on my own?

Thanks,
Anant

You might want to stick that number into Google.

It shouldn't be too hard. Try checking the area around it for frayed cabling etc and cleaning the sensor first. Depending where you are it might just be a ice issue.
