Abs Sensors (write ups?)
I can't believe its going to cost near $400 to purchase and install a sensor.:bawling:
Has anyone bought these and done their own install with a write up or pictures?:confused: The sensor is for the driver side rear sensor. I cant believe I could buy headers instead of a sensor and have it installed for "almost" the same price.:laugh: |
1. buy sensor from junkyard, or overpay at dealer.
2. buy FSM from dealership (or download). 3. change sensor. |
I just got 4 new ABS sensor from Dave B, I think it was around 130$ each, costly but my life worth more than 500$.

getting the rusty, stuck old sensor out is the only hard part of this job...

I remember bout 4 or 5 years ago, I was having serious ABS problems. Basically the system didnt know what to do, so it would apply brake on both sides randomly and unevenly, oh and also felt as if there was oil on the rotors, extremely dangerous. Solution, i pulled the ABS fuse, and basically i have had no abs for that long with no problems. Not saying you should do it, but its a temp solution of ur having problems with braking.
I still havent found which sensor it is(havnt really looked), since the brakes work perfectly (non abs) |

:scratch: they can be a little tricky but with a right tools and effort its not too bad to get out
I have some extra sensors if anyone needs some |
You just carry extra sensors? Are they new? Do you have the rear driver side sensor?
It sounds like the job is just unscrew the sensor from wherever its located. Pop it up and plug in the new one. Is it more complicated then this? Thanks so far here gentlemen |
:laugh: Not I dont carry extra sensors but about to part out my other max that has ABS on it, so the sensor are something i'd post up for sale.
I do have the rear driver side sensor. PM me if you need it. |

Not really, I mean if they are shot you just need to remove the screw that hold the sensor and hit the sensor from the exterior with a screw driver and a hammer, it take like a minutes to take it out.
|
Mine where really rusty and shots but nothing that the screwdriver and hammer couldn't take care of it. They actually might come off in multiple parts and you might need to do a bit of cleaning on the spindle.
|
if you had a bad sensor that your replacing, doesnt really matter if you bust it up cause your replacing it anyway, so get it out how every, clean up the pieces and install the new sensor
|
Propane torch makes this a 5 minute job

use a socket or a metal punch instead of a screwdriver. it's easier to mash it out in one piece vs. having to chisel it out with a screwdriver.
or just use a drill like I did once. :wall: |
