Re: 2002 Cav ABS harness

There's a connector (12 pin or so) at the EBCM and one at the sensor. We always get the "patch" from the dealer that has the connector on one end and nothing on the other. I always thought they were pretty cheap. Be sure you're looking at just the two wires and the connector, not the whole harness. To replace it, I cut the original wires where it's easiest to get to them. Anywhere inboard from where they flex on the inside of the lower control arm is fine. The wires usually break where they bend at the steering knuckle, and can be repaired sometimes. Pull the harness apart and check if the copper is corroded already or not. If it's shiny, you can solder in a short section of wire and not spend the money on the whole harness. If it's already dull looking, keep cutting it closer and closer to the sensor connector. If you get to the connector and it's still dull, you need the whole section. Be sure you solder and heat shrink the wires, and keep them twisted as much as possible.
