ABS problem

Post by Maria McG » Tue Jun 28, 2022 10:09 am

Hi folks,
I'm still working on getting my '97 V6 Probe back on the road.
I need a passenger side rear ABS sensor which doesn't seem to be available in local motor factors.
Any idea where I could get one?
Thanks in advance.
Maria.

There are only four ways these items can fail.
1/ By the stainless can being crushed by rust.
2/ The can being damaged on removal
3/ The 'sticky-out' peg being damaged by a stone, etc
4/ The cable being damaged
Which one caused yours to fail ?

I had a look, and it appears they don't have any?

What are people's thoughts on this, it's for a Mazda MX6 (1997), about £26 delivered? (depending what postage option you go for)

That’s interesting :?
When you think how hard they can be to remove the stub hub, without damaging them, it’s a bargain

If all else fails I do have one BUT the cable is only 6 inches long.
It can be spliced onto the existing cable by twisting the wires together NOT SOLDERED.
I can supply all the heat shrinks to make it a good job.
A £3 postage stamp gets it to you.

Because those cables are subject to LOTS of movement and vibration.
It has to be totally flexible.
The wire is much finer than hair , twisting them together is fine , solder and the wire will break on the solder/wire transition.
