I recently discovered the scam that Bosch has got going called... ABS sensors. $200 a pop, and I got 3 on one of my cars. I am determined to beat this extortion. They could have easily designed 'em with plug-in wires.

Regarding an '84 500SL Euro, WDB 107 046 1A 00 3640, I have determined through continuity testing that apparently the plug end and wires are OK but seemingly where the wires enter the sensor 'head' itself is where there's a break.

Has anyone dug into this,... a material resembling hard rubber... to determine what, if anything, other than simple connections to the sensor therein reside ?

If yes, what'd you see and could you repair it and if so how, and how'd you reclose it epoxy, etc. ?

How'd you reconnect the wires, solder, etc. ? Or was that necessary ?

Am I missing something here in assuming the sensor is nothing more than a magnetic inductor with a couple of attached wires ?

Please help me escape the monopolistic schemes of Bosch the author of these Garden of Electronic Delights

If I succeed I'll post the resolution.

Appreciatively,
Courtney
