I recently bought a 2004 Land Rover Discovery SE and love it. It's in great condition and the price was right. I want to replace the front and rear ABS sensors. I purchased a set and when I went to install realized that the system had been modified and now hardwired directly to the abs computer (?) under the dash. The old plug connections were cut off and rewired as mentioned above. Is there any way to still use the set I have i.e. splicing into the modified wiring or is that not possible/advisable?

Any advise would certainly be appreciated.

Thanks.

 

you can strip the wires, butt splice and heat shrink.
that is what I have done

 

i'll just copy and paste my reply to you from the other forums.

i spliced my front two sensors inside the cab at the ECU. i didnt want any loose or open spots that would allow moisture to seep in.

if you cant make it back to the ecu. do what Dusty says. heatshrink the connection to make sure they will be water tight. maybe even spray some liquid electrical tape after you heat shrink them.

Solder the connections if possible.

here is a video that talks about them being spliced. from Alantic british.

the replacements do not plug in any more, they have to go back to the ECU
