Mine just stopped working after a carwash a few days ago. The manual does say "large amount of water" or coatings could prevent the kick sensor from working. Will try to wipe that area clean to see if starts working.

Yes, double checked Settings and it is turned on - toggled if off and back on just in case.
I have two other theories:
1) the car wash did spray some "rain repel" which is listed in the manual as cause of issues. Perhaps I can clean the sensor with vinegar or isopropyl alcohol to remove the repellent. I've attached a few pics from under the bumper going from left to right. what parts should I be cleaning? I'm thinking in the center picture, the black thing in the middle with the circular sensor looking thing?
2) maybe there's a fuse for this? I was going to check.
