That was excellent. I came across the same problem today on an Audi A3. Enjoyed the video too you learn something new everyday I guess. Good work mate. 👍🏽
Just pull the pink/purple plastic on a side and the pins come out 😐 you can solder the wires directly to them connect them back and basically you wouldn’t even know that someone work there
Hey brother, thanks for the comment. You know it really did work, and way better than buying a new harness. I posted this video about 10months ago, and actually did the repair about a year ago and its still good!!! So yes and I didn't even need the scanner to clear the code. Once I started the vehicle the light was still on but then about 1/2 way down the block the light shut off. If only one of your wires broke I would check the condition of the other one, the insulation may be cracking and if there are any cracks then water can get in and trigger the light.
@@GarageKing thanks man I decided to just buy a new connector for £4 as I don't have any tools to cut the connector or remove the terminal. Your video was very helpful thanks again.
@@schmo9425 Anytime, 4 bucks for a new connector is pretty good. Here in Canada its quite a bit more than that, and they want you to buy the whole thing with the wire and everything. Thanks for the comment, and happy holidays :)
It actually did and I’m a bit surprised it lasted this long. Once it fails I’ll get a new loom, as I won’t be repairing it for a second time. Thanks for the comment :)
The harness has two holes, one for each color of cable and also numbers, what color cable goes into number one and what color goes into the other? thank you.
Hey There, I did this job a number of years ago so I can't remember, I just made sure to match the wire color. You should be able to see what color wire is going into the the harness. If you have a tool (which I didn't at the time) you should be able to pop out on of the wires and look at the color.
Well the way I look at it, if it needs fixing anyway what’s the worst that can happen right. I just hope it’s in a spot that you can easily access!!! Don’t be nervous brother !!
Hey buddy thanks for commenting!!! I didn’t clear the code. After the repair I drove the vehicle and the light turned off about 1/2 way down the block and has since stayed off. Everything works fine. Hopefully I helped you out !!!!
The other thing is you can pull the pins as I normally do as any corrosion can pull up codes .after fix I put on scan tool snap on or any good tool and drive the car very slowly in a clear safe road and look at data for all abs wheel's then if ok take car for drive observing the abs codes are all equilibrium to the same reading in Scotland UK borders.thank you for your input.
Frithstar! - Does the Emojis really make this a problem. Leave the guy to it ! I think your the problem man! You got 0(ZERO) Subscribers ! GK has 2k+. Enough said ! Keep up the entertaining Vids GK
You are absolutely correct on that one !!! Normally I'm wearing gloves, and preaching about eye, ear, and breathing protection (wear a mask) especially for brakes, but on this one I didn't wear gloves and that's my bad. Good catch !!!
4 years later and this video just came in handy. Thsnkyou so much
Thank you for the great reply !!
Can I tell you 1yr Later I just got video I need
That was excellent. I came across the same problem today on an Audi A3. Enjoyed the video too you learn something new everyday I guess. Good work mate. 👍🏽
Thanks so much brother !! Appreciate the comment and glad you enjoyed :) take care :)
Good job. It first I thought you'll solder but alternative too was fine.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks soo much my friend, it is still holding up fine, so it seems to have worked :)
You are so good with vehicles Sir
Wonderful
So amazing Sir
Thanks a ton :) Much love to you :)
@@GarageKing You are most welcome my friend and God bless you and your family too Sir
Awesome! Thank You!
Thanks brother, I do appreciate the comment !!!!
I know its late but the purple clip inside the harness needs to be removed with a pick
and the wires will release with the removal tool.
I realized that, but I was too late LOL :) Thanks for the comment, I read them all :)
Good stuff
Thank you, I do appreciate it :)

You are obviously way ahead of me LOL :)
Just thought it may be helpful for someone
@@imezhax9117 For sure, and thanks for the comment. As long as the comments are constructive, I leave them up so we can all learn :)
good job
Thanks
I hope 🤞 I can manage this
I think you can, if not worse case scenario than you need the full wire. I was in a bind so I tried this and it worked, still working today !!!
Did same today but I soldered it rtv silicone and instructions tape and then tie pulls for vibration
If you were able to get in there and solder good on you !!! Solder in with rtv is going to hold up well. Nice job !!!
This video is OSHA approved lol
It is LOL :)
......did it work..?? ABS warning light cleared?? I actually have the same problem. But just 1 of the wires broke near the connector.

@@GarageKing normally parts in UK are expensive I am lucky to find this bargain. The harness costs £70 in UK. Ridiculous.
@@schmo9425 Yeah 70 is crazy, thats well over 100 Canadian dollars, you definitely got a bargain on that part !!!!
Rabbit whats the European name a golf??
Yup I believe its the Golf, in the US they marketed the rabbit and golf as separate vehicles
Did it last? I don't think it will. Mines been a nightmare. Lasted about 1 year. Going for a new loom now.

I have an 2008 Chrysler town and country an I gotta figure out how to change that part because the wire snapped in my ABS harness
Hey there, they all seem to break there. The GM ones are really bad at that joint as well.

@@GarageKing Black goes into number 1 and brown into number 2
@@Jamie-Evo Thanks for the clarity and update, much appreciated :)
I have to do something similar but I'm nervous of messing up a splice or something
Well the way I look at it, if it needs fixing anyway what’s the worst that can happen right. I just hope it’s in a spot that you can easily access!!! Don’t be nervous brother !!
Did you have to clear the abs codes after reconnecting?
Hey buddy thanks for commenting!!! I didn’t clear the code. After the repair I drove the vehicle and the light turned off about 1/2 way down the block and has since stayed off. Everything works fine. Hopefully I helped you out !!!!
GarageKing I disconnected battery and cleared codes. Codes came back on restart. I drove it roughly 3-5 miles and it went as you mention. Thank you!
The other thing is you can pull the pins as I normally do as any corrosion can pull up codes .after fix I put on scan tool snap on or any good tool and drive the car very slowly in a clear safe road and look at data for all abs wheel's then if ok take car for drive observing the abs codes are all equilibrium to the same reading in Scotland UK borders.thank you for your input.
Thanks for your comment and excellent idea !!
good job but soldering would have been better
You know it brother. Soldering is definitely the way to go if you can swing it. I prefer to solder when I can.
Dude. Easy on the editting emoji crap. People want to learn how to fix stressful problems not be entertained by editing nonsense.
Noted and noted :) I just got the software so I probably did overdo it a bit, sorry bud.

@@baldeepsingh555 Thanks for the comment brother, I do appreciate it !!!! Thanks ;)
@@GarageKing i enjoyed it this guys a karen
@@GarageKing dog texting you was funny
Someone cut mine off, just the socket
Oh man, sorry to hear about that
@@GarageKing yeah now I'm having issues finding the right part
I wonder if the dealer sells the connector ?
Too much going on, on the screen
Yup its busy, its one of my early videos. I do appreciate the feedback.
pictures and messages piping during this video are irritating
Sorry brother, this was one of my older vids and I got some new software and got over excited, new vids are better :)
Not worth all the effort As you say pigtail is best
Yup, you are right, appreciate the comment brother !!
You shouldn’t be doing that without gloves.
You are absolutely correct on that one !!! Normally I'm wearing gloves, and preaching about eye, ear, and breathing protection (wear a mask) especially for brakes, but on this one I didn't wear gloves and that's my bad. Good catch !!!
