VZ rear bumper removal with reverse sensors

[RIP 05]

Had a search but couldnt really find what I was looking for.

I am going to fit a reece hitch towbar and know how to remove the rear bumper but am just wondering about the reverse sensors.

Are there clips that disconnect the sensors from the wiring??

Cheers

My guess would be that you could just remove the fuse to disconnect them.

Been a while since I did mine but I seem to remember push in clips on the wires.
If not, just snip the main wires (2) through the body and fit some insulated push on connectors.
If the wires are all red (think mine were) make sure you mark one wire so as to not mix them up.

I fitted the genuine kit to my VY a few years ago. There is a connector between the bumper and the body to enable quick removal.

Recently fitted a Hayman Reece towbar to my VZ Monaro, as Calaber said, there is a plug in the loom between the bumper and body. You'll see it when you get the bar off. Also inside the boot are 2 plugs sort of beside the main loom that you can disconnect to either change the distance the sensors work or stop them completely when towing something. I also fitted the genuine plug and play wiring harness (got it off ebay) that has a magnetic reed switch in the plug so that it turns the sensors off when the cover is open to plug the trailer in.
