Hi guys,

Apologies for the bombardment of threads recently.

I've got a knock sensor that has about an inch of damaged wire. Am i able to cut the bad part out and solder it back up? if so would be excellent as 1.) i want to try soldering as ive never done it and 2.) i got a spare knock sensr

Don't see why not as you have nothing to lose. I presume it's a coax cable for shielding. You will need to re-establish the shielding to keep the integrity of the cable. Suggest you use heat shrink tubing over the repaired joints and entire section - remember to slide it onto the wire first though!

Yeah was going to use shrink tube... the video I saw of it being done.... he forgot it..... then when he started all over again he had the shrink tube too close to the soldering and it shrunk in place where it was without covering the new solder joint

dont repair it fit new,and ensure the surface's are clean and dry and tourqe up to correct tourqe think its 15nm.

Repair is possible, but fiddly. Try to maintain the integrity of the coax as much as possible.

Given how reliable they are, might be worth seeing how much a breaker wants for one

what happened to the new one i gave you

Not sure of working properly after repairing as the point of two ends are soldered may create fals signal if the resistance of soldering is too high. Worth trying though.
