ABS sensors, why?

$120 or so at

I have used both these online companies before. Good service.

Easy... Dealer markups on cars are very thin. Options and/or parts are the profit centers.

Any chance of this being covered under warranty or recall, as it's safety related? Probably not, but I thought I would suggest it.

It's the connector...(at least that's what I think after pricing an O2 sensor with and without connector) ;-)

Get one from a junkyard.

(seriously,there's yearly taxes on parts inventories,there's stocking and facilities expenses,then some companies raise prices on parts as the end- use item gets older,trying to tell you to buy a new item.)

ok, so i can fix broken hardware in my pc for almost nothing, BUT /knowing/ what to fix is worth hundreds of dollars. same principle applies here. if you can make one cheaper, go right ahead. but if you're starting from scratch, to do the job properly, the messing about with testing and materials will cost you many tens of times more than the relatively small sum you're looking at. even messing about in a junk yard trying to find a used one is arguably more expensive, if you price time and effort, than buying new and having it delivered to your door so you can fit it inside 20 minutes. your choice though.

Go to slhondaparts.com and plug in the part number, see what they say.

recall-warnings.com lists only ignition switch and front lower ball joint as recalls for the '97 Odyssey.

Because it is a low volume custom dealer only part without aftermarket competition. In such cases, the car companies and dealers make a fortune and we get the short end of the stick.

Maybe you can disassemble the old one and repair or rewind it?????
