IN OCTOBER 2014 (APPROX. MILEAGE OF 40K) THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. DID SOME RESEARCH AND DETERMINED I HAD A BAD RADAR SENSOR BUT THEY COST $900 EACH SO WE TURNED OFF THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM. FEBRUARY 2016 (MILEAGE OF 53K) THE BACKUP CAMERA AND BUMPER SENSORS QUITE WORKING AND WE NOTICED A HOT WIRE SMELL. PULLED OUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE BLIND SPOT MONITORING SENSOR AND FOUND IT BADLY CORRODED AND THE SENSOR SEPARATING AT THE SEAMS ALSO FOUND FUSE BLOWN. REPLACED THE FUSE WITH THE BAD SENSOR DISCONNECTED AND PUT A NEW FUSE IN. CAMERA CAME BACK ON FOR ABOUT TEN SECONDS BEFORE GOING BLACK AGAIN WHEN FUSE BLEW AGAIN. HAD SMOKE COMING OUT OF PASSENGER SIDE REAR BLIND SPOT SENSOR AREA. FOUND THE WIRES MELTED ON THE CONNECTOR AND I HAD TO SNUFF THE WIRES OUT WITH WATER AND CUT THE SENSOR CABLE TO GET THE HOT COMPONENTS OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO PREVENT A FIRE. I THEN REMOVED THE PASSENGER SIDE SENSOR, TERMINATED THE LOOSE WIRES WITH WIRE NUTS AND PUT A NEW FUSE IT. CAMERA AND BUMPER SENSORS ARE WORKING FINE NOW BUT BLIND SPOT MONITORING IS NOT FUNCTIONAL DUE TO THE TWO BAD SENSORS. I SEE TWO ISSUES, FIRST THE BLIND SPOT SENSORS WHICH ARE SOLD AS SAFETY FEATURES FAILED AT 3 YEARS OF USE NOT JUST ONE SENSOR BUT BOTH INDICATING IT IS A POORLY ENGINEERED PART NOT A DEFECTIVE PART. SECONDLY IS THE FUSING SIZE OR WIRING CORRECT FOR THIS CIRCUIT. AS THE FUSE SHOULD BLOW BEFORE WIRES START TO MELT. TO BUY A NEW WIRING HARNESS AND THE TWO SENSORS W
