Hello,
After a long break (moving, new job, new baby, jeep project, etc.)
I'm back to working on my 2008 RX350.
I bought the SUV at auction, and it came with some minor driver's front fender damage. After removing the fender I'm now looking to get the ABS sensor hard wired in...or some advice on what part number I should order to replace my damaged piece.
Importantly: I am not trying to replace the "male" side that is attached to ABS sensor itself. I need to replace the "female" side of the plug. This is the part that runs under the hood.
The female part of the connector is what was destroyed, so I have 4 loose wires, two whites, one black, and one green. These appear to connect to the one black, one white, that feed to the "male" side of the connector.
Pics attached below. Before I start soldering them together and using process of elimination, I thought I would post here to see if y'all gurus have any advice.
If you can find the part with the pigtail etc that would be best. Use this link, enter your VIN and hunt around to hopefully find the part. If not available, I would consider taking the other side apart to determine the correct wiring. https://parts.belllexusnorthscottsdale.com/
I was able to use the wiring diagram from this thread and can confirm the green and black are the ABS wires. I soldered them onto a new ABS sensor: black to black, green to white and that solved the problem. I was lucky with my first guess, because looking at the wiring diagram later, I noticed not always is the black wire a ground/negative.
I now have 2 wires left, One white with black stripe, and one white. Looking at the wiring diagram, my guess is these go to the laser cruise control? Would anyone be able to confirm?
Thank you. I've also attached the RX350 wiring diagram to this post for convenience.
