Good fix:thumb2

For a strain relief, bend the wire back towards the housing, then put a cable tie around the cable and the brass of the sensor.

This way there will be no stress on the solder joint, and it should last a fair few years.

After all it was the vibration from the engine that caused the stress fracture in the first place, probably due to no strain relief.:doh it only lasted 19years ...:lol
