Wiring to Speed Sensor damaged

by **mighty~mart** » Mon Aug 22, 2005 11:00 am

Has some problems w/ my car the other day... car was shifting hard and check engine light came on. Next day i took the car to the dealership to see if this problem was covered by warrenty.

Mechanic told me that some rodent or animal chewed through some of the wires connecting the RPM Detect Sensor to the ECU and to repatch the wires it'll be $330+tax and labor!

WTF!? does anyone have experience w/ this? need help and don't want to get ripped off my stealership!

thats rediculous!!!!!!!!!!!

wayyyy too much money. they want to replace the whole wiring harness and everything... do you have any pics of it??? maybe we can help you to fix it yourself for not much money at all if we could see what you are looking at.
