No guides 4 crank sensor?
« on: 19 November 2006, 13:37:22 »
I thought someone had a guide.  Oh well.  Any advice b4 trying tomorrow?  TB said there are 2 types, so I was thinking of trying to get both.  Need any special tools other than jackstand?

Also, how about changing the battery in the key fob?  I know on some cars they are hard to get apart without breaking.

Cheers!  :y

Keyfob nice and easy, they tend to come apart easily. CR2032 battery.

Crank sensor, check shape of your multiplug, even photo it, and take it with you.

To refit new crank sensor, rather than trying to rerun original way (took me flipping hours  >:(), bring wire out to abs unit, and secure away from hot exhaust. Nice quick job then (longest bit will be getting scuttle off).

About the key fob, got it apart easily enough.  Battery is fine, batt neg terminal is broken off of the PCB.  Where'd I put my soldering iron . . .

Got it fixed.  Looks like metal fatigue from being dropped 2 many times.  At least there it broke where I could solder it back together.

Now for the rest of the car . . .  ::) :)
