this is what i bought and the connector is different, the clip fell apart anyways but i put the wire to the same side terminal on new knock sensor, think it will work? yes the wire is on their TIGHT.

 

damnit, its off a 4th gen..

 

they didn't send you the wrong one, YOU ORDERED THE WRONG ONE.

Listing specifically says 1995-1999 Maxima

 

i went back and looked it dont say what its for..will it work or not?

 

FROM YOUR LINK, under "product description" :













as to whether or not it'll work, why dont you try it? since you've already got it hooked up.

 

i took it out, seeing how the 4th gen has two wires going to theirs, i bit the bullet and bought a 5th gen one for $119.99.

 

While the 4th gen knock sensor has a 2 wire connector, the wire harness going to it only has one wire. If you were to use an ohmmeter on the 2 contact pins, you would find that one of the pins is connected to the center metal collar that the bolt goes through. This pin does not have a wire in the harness.

 

Now that you mention that, i remember my 4th gen did have 2 then at sub harness only had 1 wire, oh well better safe then sorry.

 

 

 

LOL

yup 4th gen only has 1 wire at the plug, I ordered that same knock sensor from amazon for my 4th gen.

 

Why is there such a price difference on knock sensors, from $11 to $240? These are for 3.5 Maxima's.

 

Because they can.

 

If there's anyone out there that could help me find a knock sensor and the correct wiring harness. I have a 2003 Nissan Maxima. I need the knock sensor wiring harness that has the two connectors. Please help! I looked on Amazon and Ebay and those aren't compatible with the maximas froom 2000-2003. Please help me out! Thank you
