thanks in advance....

Ok so i am changing my brake pads, and inspecting suspension, etc... and i am replacing the break wear sensors....


My problem is that i do not think that the sensor plug is going far enough into the round connector ( the same one that the abs connects to)..

It is barely going in where the rubber seal is just inside the round plug housing. Is seems to pull back out very easy, and the plastic clamp will not snap shut.

The end of the sensor plug us wider than the cut out for the retention clamp.

what am i doing wrong?

There are three holes with differently shaped plugs. Make sure you are sticking it in the right hole.

^^^^ Hee Hee, insert elementary school joke

You could always pop the yellow part our and inspect the fit when its not in the black plastic housing

Try some lube on the rubber....

ok, i feel totally stupid.....

after i posted this i just went out to the car and kept messing with it....

I could not get it to plug in......ARRRGGG..

SOOOOOO

i decided to unplug the abs plug so i could orient the female part to a point i could look down in the holes...

And as Sean said, there are THREE HOLES..... only two have male pins in them, the other is a blank..... DOOOOOHHHHHH.....

so i will try and edit the thread to reflect my inept mechanical skills...



thanks for the input...

Don't sweat it man, I do it all the damn time. Have to get a light and put my head under to see if I'm sticking it where it needs to go.

BTDT.

And I regularly ask myself what I did to deserve this car. Most times I am not worthy. Other times the car doesn't seem to be holding its end of the deal. Balance still favors the car. So far.
