Default Parking Sonar went crazy

ok, picked up the car from Hennessey. they had to replace my grill which is 1 piece, the grill insert and whole chrome piece (from top to bottom) are 1 and the same. someone (techie) spilled something on it and it burned into the grill, so they replaced it, Tod said it cost 1K for the grill. anywho back on track... got the car home and realized the parking sensors were not on. turned them on and the display showed (with constant beeping) a car with three red blinking circles in front and it would not go off unless i turned the sensors back off, drove off and they still would not go off. my question is, do i have to take it back or is there a way that i can reset the sensors on my own through the car settings?

this is what i see when the car is started and the parking sensors are on...



and when the car is in drive...



i pulled out of the garage and the beeping would not stop. i like that i have parking sensors but now i have to turn them off until i take it back in. these sensors have saved me from backing into **** on numerous occasions. and Yes rominl, let's hope it doesn't come back with further problems. i would have known before i left Hennessey but those damn techs touch every button in your car with their greasy little fingers and you have to reset everything when you get your car back. i drove around one night and realized after i was on the highway that i had no lights, they always **** with your light stalk... why, BSM button, rearview mirror, grease spots on the exterior where they place their grubby little fingers on your clean car... i'll stop here, i just wanted to vent a little.

it's fixed... The tech forgot to plug the sensors in. Went downstairs and saw a 13 460L MRM, I left quickly before I did something stupid I wanted the 600 Landaulet Grill but the way the 13 grill is made... The 600 grill won't fit.

Glad it was something simple and makes since that would be the issue.
