i think im gonna try the bypass.

i am confused as to which part of the harness you are supposed to put the resistor in.

unplug the sub harness from the KS itself, then shove a resistor in where the sub harness normally connects to the KS?...

is that right? or is there another part of the connector towrads the front of the engine that is a lot easier to access that i am going to be putting the resistor in?

i have a 95 GLE fyi. i attempted to undo the harness today just using my hands and it looks like i put them in a garbage disposal. anyone help is appreciated.

uh yeah ibe been reading that post ad nauseum and searching all day. it does not specify whether you put the resistor on the connector that goes right onto the knock sensor...

or if there is another connection part where the resistor goes.

 

Put it in place of the KS.

Why would you do that? Seems like a receipe for a trashed engine. The KS is there for a reason.

Just pony up the dough for a real KS.

 

Amen to that.

 

Any recommendations where to buy a KS at a reasonable price?

bypassed mine and it`s been a year no problem so far and it hasn`t knock once

 

yeah this is temporary. once i get my hand in there...how exactly do i disconnect the KS? do i just pull? or is there some kinda thing you have to press to release it. btw. you can get a new OEM ks on ebay for 70 shipped.

 

I would say you need to take the KS off, as in replacing it.

 

im having a ***** of a time figuring out which connector to undo.

does anyone have a picture or a diagram.

 

The connector right at the knock sensor has a wire pin/clip that you have to pry out first, then the sensor will come out.

 

no no not for the harness...for the subharness.

 

Subharness to the main engine harness or subharness to the knock sensor?

The connect to the engine harness is just a regular connector with a plastic press-clip.

 

All of this has me ready to hit my head off the wall since I'll be replacing mine this week and hate the thought of it

 

It's as easy as aiming projectors

 

I'm getting on mapquest to get directions to your house right now

 

I can definitely help you with the KS, but not with projectors.. I'm on the latest and greatest headlamp technology -> known as 9004s

 

the subharness to the knock sensor. because supposedly that is where im supposed to put the resistor. theres so many connectors i just dont wanna pull out the wrong one.

 

Ok - if this is all to bypass the KS, then once again

Just unplug the subharness from the main harness and slap the resistor in there.

 

ok i think i found it.

i pulled apart a connector and hmm lemme try to explain this. one end was like the vag and the other was like the peen. like one slipped into the other. it seemed as though the resistor would go on the 'peen' end.

im sorry im havn a hard time iwth this..

 

the resistor goes into the connector that is connected to the main engine harness...

 

alright just got the resistors from radio shack.

is it as simple as just plugging them in and taping them down?

 

Yes . .. . .

 

Thanks - I think I was going to

 

Put some black tape around it and zip tie it somewhere.

You might want to trim it down so it's not sticking out so far.

 

Where were you about 20 posts ago?

 

holy ****ttttt. i just figured it out...checked the code...its gone! took it for a test drive...hollyyy ****ttt..

below 3000 the thing is an animal again. im so happy.

i am getting an 0505 now, which i hear is common...should i be worried

 

Hmmm...maybe I should check out this option til I have the chance to get some help with my KS...

 

Just put the KS in.. since you have it.

 

Want to come put it in for me? I've never done it, it's not like I know what I'm getting myself into...

 

Who did all the other mods on your car a KS is a piece of cake. Damn

 

I forgot your hand was maimed. ... .. Wait for it to heal.. then journey under the hood and see what you learn.

 

It's like going into a bar and... oh nevermind, you're still 17

 

Aside from the exhaust work, I did all the mods

Like NMexMax said though, my left hand is a bit fooked up at the moment from working under the hood this past weekend...

 

Damn - you did all that crap and you're about a knock sensor

 

"All that stuff"...what stuff? I don't have that many mods I forgot to mention, I didn't do the retrofit either...I just installed them.
