Missing Tabs?

Does equipment associated with sensors work?

Missing Tabs?[/QUOTE ] such as side assist if car is so equipt? Reverse warning if close to things? Possibly plugs were taken off to increase sensitivity issues for those systems.possibly those systems are not functioning as designed and plugs taken off, or bumper was painted and plugs were not replaced.ask if car was crashed?

They are the rear parking sensors. Don't believe there are covers.

Those are in fact the parking sensors, however they are ALWAYS painted. Seeing the picture I would be concerned that the car was wrecked and the body shop didn't paint the sensors.

X2 Exactly what I was thinking! Its a clue to look for more signs of at the very least bumper replacement.

Should look more like this:

Agree with posts above - most likely explanation is body work with the sensors left unpainted.

You guys are right on the money
 

The car had been in an accident (a "door ding" per the previous owner, must have been done by truckasaurus). Turns out there was a considerable amount of work done, I'm staying away. Thanks!
