Default curb alert not working

I just got my 99 out of 5 months of winter storage and the curb alert did not give the beeps upon power up, nor did it sense an object in front of it. The only check i did so far was to see that the sensor was still attached on the front of the car. Any suggestions for trouble shooting?

Make sure your sensor power line is still properly connected and if so, is the fuse good.

Make sure the buzzer cord is plugged into the sensor. Mine came out once.

I had the sensor unit go bad on mine after 10 months of use and it was replaced under the Curb Alert's warrantee period.

Good luck on finding your problem.

Thanks. I haven't really checked anything other than the sensor on the front, but now that you mention it, something may have come disconnected because I had to get into the car on the passenger side and then climb over to the driver's seat because the driver side was parked close to a wall making it impossible to get in from that side. I may have kicked something loose when trying to contort my way in from the passenger side. I hope that is all that happened.
