Razor not Measuring Cars Going all the way to the back

[water guy]

@water guy it looks like yours is crooked not sure if it matters or it's just the angle of the picture taken. As I said in my previous post this machine is 5 months old, the first sonar was bad on install finally after 3 months of arguing with my distributor and WW they sent a new one and problem was solved.

I put it at an angle so the water would run off .

Washworld offered me a choice .A refurbished cube that is programmed to measure wide or a different style of sonar like the one that use to come on the razor. I went with the old style sonar.And today is my last day to be covered under warranty. If you have a problem with your equipment you better document and cya.

I have 2 razors (2018) and it seems the sonars get about 2/3 years out at most. I've replaced both on my machines and I keep one spare on hand due to this being such a waste of time/chemical when it fails it was worth it for me to have one on hand. As many said, that's most likely your issue, if you have another bay swap it over and see if the problem stays there or not. That is the same sonar that I have on my machine, I would thing they'd last longer than 2 years being my old Superior from 2004 would last 2/3 years as well on those sonars, 15 years of technology apparently they still have a limited life expectancy.

Well I spent a Great Deal of time on the Phone with a tech support from the Manufacturer of the So Called Sonars I asked if MOISTURE on the lens cause it to fault and he said YES.My Question is why we have been fighting this since the install and they have just been blowing smoke up our ass until now the machine is out warranty and the Washworld Tech Support wants to send me a remanufactured Cube so called sonar or a bullet style sonar so I choose it because it was new. Damn Wish I Could Do Business like that and get Away with it.damn give us a break

My older razor 2015 model Razor 3 has over 62,000 washes and the sonar has never been changed. So that really makes me ask wtf is WW doing to fix this issue?

Can you post a picture of your sonar on your machine? I'd be curious to see if it's the same as the newer units or not

Yes when I get to wash I will take pictures.

How old is your Machine?

 

[DiamondWash]

Had this exact issue with our Gen 4 Razor and it turned out to be a plugged hyperflex hole spraying the sonar causing it to misread the vehicle simple fix.

 

[water guy]

Why can't we extend those nozzles out past the Hood might work too.

This is from a razor3 2015 never been changed.

Mine is a 2018 model, and uses a different sensor than the one posted above. It is the Cube style with 2 lights on the front corners

I wish the new ones lasted that long, I'm seeing about 2 years out of mine before they start being hit and miss.

Yes that 2015 model razor is different than the new razor I got installed in April this year and it had the cube. The day we sprayed water out the machine was April 6 2021 and when my distributor and I watched a few cars go through I said something is wrong with that sonar. He said give it a while play with adjustments. Finally 3months later in June he contacted WW to send a new one. Has worked fine since.

We just changed our top sonar on a 10 month old Razor with the same issue. Problem disappeared but now it has the older type of Sonar as the newer style are impossible to source.

wW didn’t have any sonars?

 

[water guy]

That's the same I was wondering?

 

[carwashireland]

I think like many electronic items affected by covid the newer sonars are in short supply. Washworld supplied an older sonar with a different bracket. It was a simple swap and works perfectly.

 

[Waxman]

can the sonars be reprogrammed? my old ones on my siperior machine could be.
