Visit by my three amigos but luckily short

[PhilipA]

I was driving along yesterday near home and bing bong three amigos.
Only second time in 5 years.
I got out the Nanocom and message was RH front sensor intermittent signal and 20 occurrences.
I had a look today, took off the wheel and brake pads and checked for any play in the bearings but none.

Pulled the connector apart and it crumbled in my hands, leaving the two females exposed. It is in an awkward place under the brake booster , but managed to lightly squeeze the females then insert the males after cleaning with contact cleaner. ( don't get too excited now!)I covered the bits left of the plug with heat shrink tube so it will stay joined ( I hope).
Checked the output voltage and 2.19 V at all except LH front at 2.17 V.
Even with only 2 volts the connector must have got hot enough to make the plastic crumble.
Better than bad earth at pump!

Hmm, well I guess i’m probably due another visit then. My last visit was 6years ago much to the annoyance of the selling dealer who had to rebuild the modulator under statuatory warranty.

I’m hearing and seeing more and more problems with plastic parts becoming brittle and breaking as the D2s age. They don’t like heat and sun and some trim bits are no longer available.

I just thought why my connector crumbled on my RH sensor.

The connector is directly below the Brake master cylinder.

I pressure bled the brakes about 2 months ago, and as I forgot to add an important washer at first , I got fluid everywhere.

So I think the plastic of the connector does not like brake fluid. The white part ie the male seems not to be affected.
