Default Cheap source of Wheel Speed Sensor wire/wiring harness?

While cleaning/inspecting the wiring harness leading to one of my Wheel Speed Sensors, I broke off the wire at the connector.

The places on the 'web that stock these short cables want $100 a piece for them. IT'S A 3-FOOT WIRE!

It's part number LJG3410AC. Anyone have any ideas on where to get one for less?

Many thanks,

Marc

(Why was I messing with it? Trying to fix the DSC/ABS/TRAC fault that wasn't cured by cleaning the wheel speed sensors)

(Why don't I just solder it? It broke off right at the connector - nothing to solder to)

Try a wrecking yard (breaker for the Brits). Also Motorcars Ltd. did sell used parts for Jags out of Houston. Not sure what part of Texas you're in...it's kind of a big place you know.

I've had good luck with Jaguar Heaven out in California.. ordered several used parts from them and I've had no issues. Their prices can be a bit high, but are negotiable usually. Just call... don't bother filling out the email contact form.

Thanks. Motorcars used to have a place in Austin, not far from my house, but it closed recently.

Not interested in one from a wrecker... several are on eBay but they are mostly $30-$40 and if they're from Texas then they will probably be like mine - all my boots are bad. Texas heat kills rubber.

My plan at the moment is to rebuild my existing one using an aftermarket connector

I took on the rebuild project using an aftermarket connector last night. It seems to have worked. I'll post a separate thread on how I did that, maybe at the weekend.

Looking forward to your details. Sooner or later, we all face this issue if we keep our cars long enough....

Default Just realized I totally forgot to update this thread

I did the fix a few months ago - still working great.
