Been stuck like this for a solid hour lmao

It was the ABS sensor, would it be better to fix it myself or just take it to Acura? Also would are even price ranges for that

Is the connector itself broken? If it’s just ripped wires you might be better off fixing it yourself.

maybe post a picture.

The connector is fine, it’s just the cable ripped in half. Looks like a super easy fix but I can upload a picture after! And it’s the plug right behind the rotor

meh just solder and heat shrink wrap it, if it’s just the cables that got ripped. Unless it came out of the plug itself, then I’d just try to buy another OEM replacement from Acura.

if you can expose copper on both the plug wires and the wire itself strip it back, solder it and shrink wrap it.

Acura won’t likely do a repair like this, they will likely replace the whole cable. On the cheap end expect an hour shop rate + part.

So this is what happened.. this is the speed sensor correct? Also sorry I’m still new to working on cars!

Yep. Speed sensor for ABS

Acura dealership by me has the sensor for $60 or the whole harness for $130, should I just get the sensor Or the whole harness?

Looks like you ripped the wires out of the harness connector. So I would say harness. Unless the sensor was also damaged..

Yea I think just to be safe I’m going to buy the harness and replace it, you live and learn. I also got a clicking sound from turning the wheel but I think I just missed placed the spring. It’s a tiny clicking noise from the left side

It's also common for lowering springs to screw with this suspension. There are alot of 22 civic SI attempts with lowering springs that ended with odd noises and clicks.

Looks like you’ll need the harness unless you got the tools to pull the pins out of the plug to re-crimp/reinsert.
Sensor should be fine.

You sure picked a not so easy mod to do to be new to working on cars.

Make sure you check your CV Boot and axle for any damage too. It is very common on 10th and 11th gen Civic when removing suspension components. Check for leaks on the boot and odd noises when driving.

I’m glad I am not trying to learn how to wrench at this time in automotive history. I’m no pro but have screwed up enough to usually be able to see it coming. But I learned on much simpler machines. Our track Lotus is built about as sophisticated as a WW II airplane.

You’ve taken on something pretty challenging. I sure recommend using the info avail here to follow this through. The car will drive differently to you, just because you put the right parts in the right place and know it! Enjoy.
