Have I mentioned how much I hate Speed sensors?
I finally replaced my one speed sensor for the ABS today. For those who don't remember (prolly all of you cause who would remember) I broke my one speed sensor a year ago when installing new springs. I hate these things cause it broke by me looking at it wrong. :p Well not really, I crimped it in the spring. But really the thing breaks crazy easily. I can barely see the mark where I hit it. So 130 $$ later I replaced it and I still have the ABS light on my dash. So now I'm off to have the code cleared. It's better than the $350 Toyota quoted me for the fix but I will forever hate speed sensors now.
That is all. I just wanted to rant. :)

just two leads for the optical sensor, seriously, a soldering iron and some shrink tube would fix it. did you save the old pieces?

Hmm. Or maybe just repair it and keep it for when I look at the new one wrong and break that one. :p
