Had the light come on on our '12 a while ago. The scanner said it was the left rear. Pulled the sensor, and a ball of rust rolled out the hole.

Don't feel bad, Maurice, I did too!!

Keep your documentation with you to prove you just purchased the vehicle. As long as you're not using the lights, and otherwise driving like a sane person, I'd expect no issues, unless you run across a Barney Fife-type who has to, um, boost his metrics.

When replacing the wheel bearings, depending on how 'nicely' they treated the wiring, they could have strained the wiring to the ...

But I found similar odd stuff remaining on our car (like the under mirror strobes and one stub antenna). Can't offer much, but keep lo...

You're quite welcome, and good luck with your purchase!!
