hmm, depending if your “VERY” good with a soldering iron, maybe solder the pin back on? Other than that i would try to find a replacement. “maybe even junk yards” if there are any available.
Good luck and i hope u get it figured out
You may be able to force a sewing pin or something similar into the plastic next to where the pin broke off in the sensor. Then cut it to the same length as the other good pins and put the connector back on to the sensor. Heat the pin up so it will be easier to slide through the plastic and make contact with the broken pin. You may have to bend the pin to line up with the connector. Hope this helps you.
yes he is as always i tell them every single detail with the car and it was also hard not to notice… hehe thank all
