Hello guys,
Couple weeks ago, the clip holding the connector for the speed sensor on my passenger side front wheel felt like taking a brake and let my connector fall. Obviously, this had to happen while I was on the track, resulting with a melted connector and wiring. That was enough to trigger a C1225 and C1233 and the ABS/TCS/ESC going FUBAR after hitting the tiniest bump. Since only one of the two wire was partially melted, I decided to cut the wiring and crimp it back. Unfortunately, I only had about 1/4 inch left on the connector side and had to cut into the main harness' heat shield. After 2 hours of swearing, I got everything back to normal.
Jump to today, the problem is occurring again.
Since I dislike temporary fixes and duct-tape solution, I'd like to just replace the connector and give me some space with the crimp by giving me at least 2 inches of wiring and re-crimp the other side on the harness directly.
Anyone know where I can get a new connector with the unused clips to replace the one I have? The connector I need is the one that connect to the one here, which is on the main harness.
My sensor wire frayed at the wheel hub, passenger front. Anytime getting on the brakes hard it would lock up, it happened at a track event and put a damper on things. I was able to solder it back together and caulk it. It's working so far. If I remember right, it's cheaper to replace the bearing assembly than to replace the sensor. The sensor comes installed in the wheel bearing, looks like a pain to just replace the sensor, I think it's pressed in. This was a few years ago, I hope my memory serves me right, LOL.
In my case, the sensor is just fine. The problem is the wire. In any case, I found the little cable section and just ordered it.
The damaged connector will be replaced when I upgrade the front bearings to SKF racing ones.
ABS sensor connector part number?
