Default Broken front ABS sensor female connector

Hi Rennlist,

I have a 2013 991 CS, non-ceramic brakes. While servicing the front pads today, I snapped the latch off of the female 2-pin connector that goes to the front ABS sensor. Not sure why this connector was stuck, but it didn't disconnect easily like the other brake sensor connectors. This cable is part of a larger wire harness that routes into the front of the car. As a short term fix, I've hot-glued the latch in place. Long term I think there are two options...

1) buy a new wire harness. Does anyone know where I can find the part number or purchase this?

2) de-pin the connector and install a replacement female connector. Anyone know what type of connector this is? I saw some Audi logos on the plastic connector body.

Thanks for your help!

Breaking those clips is easy to do. I would not bother replacing it until it fails.

This link might be helpful. https://www.partssociety.com/product...0913100-33-116

Part # 991.609.131.00. ???

Same thing happened to me doing my rear coilovers. Your connector looks different than mine (rear vs front). The part number should be molded into on the connector. Took me maybe 20 minutes total taking my time. No need to cut or splice anything, just transfer the pins from one connector into the other.

Thanks for the replies! I ordered the de-pinning tool kit and will find the correct female connector for replacement.

Here is the part number taken directly from the wire harness on the vehicle. Depinning wasn't super easy, but worked with the kit from Amazon. One tip is to use the thickest "key" possible. The thinner keys will flex instead of pushing the contact springs down.

6E0 973 702

You can find plenty of these on ebay, amazon, or other online stores.
