Thread: Need Guidance: Wiring up new ABS/Trac Sensor Cable (vehicle side, not hub side)

I have heat shrink butt connectors already, plus just regular heat shrink tubing of all sorts of styles and types. IF I can twist and turn my big arms and hands in there, I will try to solder it. I've gone a kick-butt soldering setup that would do it right, but working around all of the stuff under the hood would be that challenge. The crimp and shrink method is probably the easiest and *should* stay secure.


Oh, and glad that the part numbers worked out for you. I was (incorrectly) given PT374 as the part number back in February when I first was looking to fix this. Similar part, but completely wrong as I found out today... (I told you that I waited a long time to try to fix this.) Now I have to see if my local Advance Auto will take it back after so long.

I usually splice the new harness in just past when the control arm meets the sub-frame. Its easily accessible and the wiring harness doesn't move much as it mounted solid to the subframe at that point. All the movement and stress on the harness is at the control arm and knuckle.

For my car, I will take the time to wrap the wiring in electrical tape under the loom. Some new wiring harness from factory are completely cover by a bonded vinyl sheath.
