tried removing rear radar sensor - oh boy..
So I get the "blind spot assist inoperable" message (what else is new right). I try to inspect them and I want to remove them, maybe clean the connection or something. Unfortunately I cant get them out of the brackets. Anyone know any details as to how to get them out or is it easier to remove the whole bumper.
I got some photos
Also whenever I go into reverse the rear parktronic sensors automatically go red and beep. I know that it is the same harness for the blind spot assist and parking sensors. So my question is: would a fault in the blind spot radars also cause the parking sensors to go off or is that a separate issue I got?
Thanks a bunch!

I had a shorted Parking sensor bring all of the front ones down, so I guess it's likely a shorted sensor would take the Blind spot assist with it..
The sensors are very cheap on ebay.
