Just EE if I recall correctly.

But in reality, it's just 2 wires. You could always just cut it and splice in 2 wires.

answer I was looking for I have a box of hubs w/sensors. I couldn't figure out any harm in using those wires, to patch in. I figured, I just need to seal up the splice and am good to go.....thank you.

so unless I hear of any catastrophic ill effect, that is the plan. I'm one 4" piece of duct tape away, from having the most ghetto disco in north America.

just butt splices should work, right?

I guess the front lines put on the back would solve 1/2 the problem. then just splice the front

Correct sir.


The $140 ABS sensor line that you can buy from Land Rover literally makes you splice into the existing wire...

Just make sure you get solid connections. It measures the resistance if I remember correctly...so to many connections could effect that. I would Solder the splice and heat shrink for the best results.

When I do electrical I solder each connection, then heat shrink each wire, then heat shrink them all together with one larger one that has a glue inside it. They are insulated and water/heat resistant.
