[Alex13mod]

Bringing back from the dead thread , this is useful but I ordered New ones from rock auto.

Well, thanks for the bump
Maybe someone else who hasen't seen it will. Since the time I wrote this I haven't had to go back to fixing the sensors yet. The driver side is a tad delayed but works every time!

New sensors go for 8 something a piece at rock auto and they work without delay If the issue continues.

you dont even need the cleaner, just sand paper. on the other hand being 20+ years old the plastic is brittle be very careful pulling the cover off of these i broke the end off one today. other than that i scuffed the contact with 100 grit sp and re installed less than 30 mins. problem fixed. now i dont have to open the drivers door or turn the dome light to ON, so my oldest can buckle in the back seat. lol

Either way you're going to need something. Some people happen to have contact cleaner, others happen to have sand paper. Which ever works! Lol

Nice write up! I have had to do this on nearly every cb I have owned. I always put dialectric grease on every electrical contact after I've taken it apart. Never had another problem after using it.
