Crimp connection
When I cut open the connector, this shows the copper wire crimped to the silver wire. This is where corrosion or oxidation may be causing resistance to the current especially in hot weather. Heat increases resistance to current flow in wire.

Saabs and Volvos | ABS fix
2004 Aero Wagon fix for ABS/TCS warning due to wiring problem (loss of communication w/rear wheels). Started having problem in 2010. Sent ABS unit off to BBS, problem returned. Dealer checked with Tech 2 and replaced left rear wheel sensor.

This album contains 10 photos and 0 albums.


Driver's side rear passenger (US spec)
The wiring bundle comes in at the base of the footwell so you need to get under the carpet. When the dealer replaced the wheel sensor they stated if problem returned the fault was probably in the wiring junction. But I never knew where to look until now.

Splice
I cut out the hard black junction insulator and spliced, soldered and heat shrink wrapped the wires together with red insulated copper stranded wire.

Finished
Got the carpet back in place and popped the sill back in. Finished. Easy. A left handed person may have an advantage on this DIY project. Thanks to Bernie, Dean and others who supplied WIS info and experience so I could finally fix this.
