It's at the harness part, near the strut tower.

Ah. Never heard of that before. I'm not sure where the next stop of that harness is.

Maybe try realoem?

+1 on that, I've not heard of the connector falling apart.

Looks like you're in McGyver territory.

Lol. As the old saying goes..... You can just about fix anything with duct tape and a hammer.:thumbup:

The connector at the strut side always crumbles when you are trying to pull it out. Just make sure the whole connector is not crumbled, you can pull it carefully and slowly by holding the wire, it is very strong and not easy to break. I encountered the same issue when replace the pad sensors and the ABS sensors. Don't worry, you can do it.

Thanks for your input. It's always good to when some is familiar with the path that your traveling. I had decided to give it another go, maybe soak it down with some electrical cleaning spray. I'll let ya'll know what happened. Thanks

Well, I was able to separate that harness Rogerkiu. Thanks for the help.

Check brake linings
 
Here's a good one- my brake light went off after I changed tear rotors pads and new sensor. Then I noticed its back on again.
Very frustrating! Any thoughts? Connection was good and I heard the click at the junction box. Thx guys..

Quick test. Just open up the wheel well connector box, disconnect and jump the wire from the harness.
Light stay off? If yes the issue is the connector/sensor to the caliper.
Light comes back on? The issue is further up stream (closer to the computer)

I would recommend double checking the harness where it was pulled apart. As that is usually where the stress was on the wires. Could be pulled apart within the loom.

This circuit is only an open or closed loop. A broken wire/disconnected/shorted will produce a fault code (Light on)
