Replacing Front Wheel RDC Sensor

[Grumpy Goat]

They allowed me to have the faulty sensor. I will be sending that to a forum member who is going to see if he can replace the battery in the faulty sensor and have it work. I’m sure he will update everyone if he gets it to work with just a battery replacement.

Well, it took over 2 years to get this done, but I had not forgotten to check it out, Darrell. The problem is not the sealant but the battery connectors to the motherboard circuitry of the sensor itself. It's all in this short video.



There is another video in which the guy worked on a different sensor and managed to get the battery out, breaking the battery terminals off without breaking the terminals from the motherboard. The battery in his sensor was a CR2032 with the welded-on terminals and they are oriented differently, so that when he pried the battery out, he somehow did not break the connection to the motherboard. In my case the welds were very hard to break delicately and the risk of separation from the motherboard is high. YMMV.
