Hi guys!

I need to replace the harness for my knock sensor on my 96 legacy outback. What do you all suggest? Should I just go to a junkyard and look around? Anyone have a spare they don't want? (Obviously I know nothing about this, so any advice would be great.)

Thanks!

I've had trouble finding junkyards that have late model cars like this (I also have a 96 Legacy). So it depends on what is nearby. A new one is kind of expensive. But since it is something that either works or doesn't (it throws check engine light if it is broken), that might be something better new.

What do you mean by harness? Just the short bit with 2 connectors that runs over the back of the block, or the bit that disapears into the firewall? Usually the epoxy that the nock sensor is moulded into is what cracks up, not the harness.

pshh, I have no idea. All my mechanic told me is that the sensor itself is fine, but the harness needs to be replaced. Are they both considered part of the harness?
