there are two, each inside wheel arch. The loom connector is clipped to the back of the wheel arch, it runs around the behind the shock/drop link and into the brake caliper.

There is a white plastic/metal connector which usually clips into the top of the pad.

Either fit new sensors, or cut off the cable a distance from the loom connector & fuse them by joining the two cables, cover in heat shrink and seal  :y
