It was a Bosch universal sensor I used. I've heard to avoid all generic sensors (Walker etc.) but again, I've read a number of posts here on the BB from guys that used generics and have had no problems at all. Beats me. Maybe just my bad luck. On universal sensors with splice kits, the connectors used are the "bullet" type. If you use them correctly it would be very unlikely to have a bad connection. I took the connector off and did my splices in the house so I'm sure they were connected and secure. As I mentioned, I checked them with an ohm meter and the connections were secure and I triple checked my wires to be certainthey were correct. I'd say the odds of getting two bum sensors would be VERY remote but neither worked, When switched to "direct fit" type, all was well
