Cycle computer and parking sensors

Cant see how parking sensors would knacker it ?
More likely that the vibration of the trip on the car has shaken something loose or put something out of alignment ?0 -
Yes, could be the vibration. But then that would surely have affected someone else too as parking sensors would not be a factor. I was hoping some electronics expert would contribute and explain it away with magnetic fields and radar. Until I obtain another one I won't be able to tell if the sensor or the display unit is at fault.0

Have you got any readout on the computer ?
If not - then new battery ?
If you have, then is the magnet still close enough to the sensor ? You can usually hear a tick as it goes past.
If thats OK- then maybe you need a new battery in the sensor.0 -
Both batteries tested OK, numerous attempts repositioning magnet and sensor closer and further apart, including swapping to other side of wheel.as the sensor is double-sided. Readout on display unit shows 0:00 mph, but clock OK. For a while it read 9 mph but the bike wasn't moving at the time!0

what is the model? i have been through a couple of cateye wireless sender units after they have been knocked. in one instance it was just a drop to tarmac that seemed enough, although it had been attached during an off not long before without problems. when i shook the unit there was a light rattle that i assumed was a broken something inside.
another one fell off and was run over by an artic. i didn't need to investigate that one as it was nearly ground flat!0 -
I had the ferrite rod aerial in a Cat Eye sender snap with out ever dropping it.Do Nellyphants count?
