My ABS and Traction Control lights have been set for some time now. While doing my endlinks on the weekend I noticed the wiring for the ABS sensor on the passenger had both wires broken in it.

Tonight I decided to tackle it. I found the wiring was broken off almost flush with the connector. I pushed the terminals into the housing a bit to expose a little more for soldering. The wiring was a little corroded so I used a little acid flux for copper pipes to finish off the cleaning after first using a small brass brush.

It took me about 1 hour to do the hole job from start to finish and I'm happy to report it'* working fine .

Here'* a picture of it just before final re-attachement;



Cheers,

Good job! You can also get those connectors as bulk-replacement service parts or aftermarket replacements, if the originals are too far gone to repair.

I hadn't thought about looking for replacement connectors...thanks for the tip!

Cheers,

Come to think of it, you can (almost certainly) find that specific connector to the ABS wheel sensor available as a replacement part, probably consisting of the connector itself and a short pigtail of wire for you to attach to the existing wiring harness. I know that'* what I received from GM when repairing a knock sensor on a Celebrity some time back.

Since you've got yours working already, though, I wouldn't disturb it again unless or until it breaks again...
