x3 on new fluid. I used RTV type sealant, but I was doing both the front and rear at the time and was not aware of the gasket available. This was a week after I bought the truck and if/when I change the fluid next time I will use the gasket.
If you just broke one ear off that connector you could be good with it, I have a few in use that way. If you broke both ears you'll need to replace it or hold it in place with another device, maybe a wire tie would work. If you hook it up and it comes apart you'll notice it in your speedometer, cruise control and your abs light will light.
So can this part go bad even IF my speedo seems to work fine?
I had one light my ABS light but everything else worked fine. I have read on here that sometimes you can clean that sensor and it will work but I have never done it.
There is a thread around called "What's that growl?" or something similar. It's not a rare occurrence. Did you clear your light? You might have to clear to get that to go out.
