Radar wiring repair
I was called to a local body shop to discuss wiring repair versus harness replacement on this newer Nissan vehicle. It was hit on the right front. The distance sensor/radar is missing and the bracket is mangled. The wires to the unit were severed clean. We have no idea what the sensor or connector should look like at this time. According to everything I have read from I-Car and Nissan, repairing this damage is permitted. The only thing Nissan clearly states cannot be repaired is SRS wiring. I have found this to be a huge problem on newer Nissan Rogues that are rear ended. The sensors and connectors get destroyed. Often times the wires and pins are ok. I have ordered 10 of these connector housings (OEM) to keep on hand for this very reason. I am hoping they are the same connectors for this vehicle. What are your thoughts on repairing wiring on these collision avoidance systems? I don't see any problem doing repairs as long as A: It is repaired and secured properly, B: It is afterwards sent out for an alignment and the unit is calibrated properly, and C: Everything functions properly when it's done.
