Erratic Speed Sensor

gsx95 · 06-22-2023, 12:38 PM

So I accidentally burned out the speed sensor on my 2021 Boom Vader (Venom X20) by plugging the headlight plug into it after fixing my wiring harness. I replaced it with this one from Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092D3Q24C...roduct_details

I had to order it twice, since the first one didn't work at all, so I'm not sure how good they are. Anyway, it works normally about 20% of the time...the rest of the time, the numbers change so fast you can't read them. If I'm going around 40 or so, the "4" is stable, but the ones digit is all over the place. If I'm between 40 and 50, the tens digit flips back and forth between 4 and 5 constantly. The plugs and connections seem ok...Also, when I installed the sensor, I did not lubricate the moving parts, as they do not seem to actually touch each other, and they are not getting hot at all. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
