What you need

Step 1

              Depin Outside Wires
  • Depin outside pins on the original sensor. Use the sharp point of an exacto tool or similar.
  • Be careful and only push the detent down enough to release the wire from the connector
  • In this case, only 2 wires are swapping, so marking the wires is not needed.
  • Gently, bend the detent back out at a slight angle so it catches when re-inserted.

  • Wires should be twisted with outer 2 wires swapped.
  • Use included m3x16 SHCS to attach new sensor.
