Blind Spot Monitoring Issue on 2009 CX9

[tstex]

Hello to All,

Had some body work done to the right back side of my car and the BSM sensor is working intermittently about 25% of the time. This back rt wheel-well and qtr panel is where they painted and did the work.

The left side works fine, but the right side works about 1/5 - 1/4 % of the time. Also, the sensor in the back rt door was replaced be the air-bag went off. which both the module and the airbag was replaced, and the car was reset to turn-off the blinking air-bag dash indicator.

Does anyone have an idea of what could be the issue, and if so, the probable fix? This was done by a reputable bodyshot and they took it and paid Mazda to reset it.

Thank you and let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
tstex

I have done some searching on this subject and apparently the sensors are very touchy. If it works part of the time it sounds like it is out of alignment which a dealer can adjust. It seems like you need some specialized equipment to align a sensor. Mine is totally broke and the part is like $700 with over a thousand to insall and align. I am looking for a way to turn off the dashboard light and just lose the feature. I tried removing the fuse, but that also stopped my keyless entry from working,
