Hey everyone. I have been showing my abs,bas, and TC lights for the past little bit and now wanna fix it. I stopped by my local dealership and picked up the replacement kit from Jeep. $39 as they are no longer just selling the wires and you have to buy the sensor with it. :( Who has done this before? how hard is it? pictures? advice?

thanks

joe

it is actually super easy. i snapped one of my sensors off when i was doing the lift. you literally take out one screw, pry the sensor out and take off the wire, then you reinstall the new one---pretty straight forward if you are somewhat mechanically inclined. it took about 15 minutes. good luck

I got the new kit. very straight forward, however on the 2007 model it looks like I need to remove the caliper and rotor to get to the sensor plug. :(

oh well...time to get working..:)
