Yeah, forgive me if you know this already, but there are tiny release tabs on the pin for each wire accessed from the backside of the connector.

Was the end of the new sensor wire bare or did it already have the pins installed? I recall the ones I saw online were stripped and bare.

 

They were bare but came with pins to solder or crimp onto.

...so the release tabs... they're accessed from the backside? Maybe I just need a thinner screwdriver to access them with. Ugh. I'm so tired of taking this truck apart, but maybe I'll give it another attempt today.

 

Try a toothpick. Look carefully at the pins that came with the sensor to see how the release is configured.

 

I’ll give that a shot in a minute.

Just took live input readings of the sensors... don’t they all look OK?

 

I use a small needle (borrow from the mrs sewing kit) then just gently apply pressure and it should release from the connector. On my 04, someone just went down about 3 inches and snip/spliced em poorly. I dunno why people don't cut em at say 6inches lol... I think I'll crawl under the dash and verify they're all connected good. The idiots ran the drivers side like just above the gas and brake pedals vs taking their time and routing it properly...

 

Are you sure it’s released from the back? The connector looks like the barbs need to be released from the front, ya?




This is a replacement one that came with the new wire.

 

OK. Maybe the ABS pins are made to be released from the front. Whatever. The important thing is that you can see the little "ears" that need to be pressed down to release the pin.

 

Got em out! Out of all these things, the tool that removed them immediately and without struggle is this 1.5mm Allen. And yeah, going from the front of the connector.

 

These original ends look fine, but I guess we’ll see ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I'm confused. Have you cut the wires connected to those pins? Looks like they're out of the truck.

If not, or even if you have, use your multimeter to check continuity and resistance roundtrip to and from the sensor. According to the RAVE (p.877) resistance should be 950-1100 ohms. That's what the SLABS is looking for.
