ABS sensor plug keeps falling out

Postby johnb5177 » Thu Oct 13, 2016 3:26 pm

Hi guys,
My partner has an 05 Megane2, the nearside ABS plug keeps popping out of the socket on the hub. This causes the warning lights to come on.
I keep replugging, but it is obviously a loose fit.
Is there a fix for this?
Kind regards
Johnb

I've just seen a post about this on the forum. It's not coming up on the search though. I think he glued it..

Okay, thanks.
I hope someone can help with this, I know I can plug it back in temporarily, but it is an mot failure, and incorrectly working brakes.....both things concern me greatly...... :(

try wrapping electrical tape round it to make it a tighter fit before you plug it in
if at first you don't succeed get a bigger hammer

Thank you, but if I do that, how will it affect the plug...?
Will it not insulate the plug from the abs unit and fail to transmit information.....?

you only put the tape round the plastic part that should be gripped by the socket not over the end of plug
