 This is a silly question,but, why cannot FT source a product that they installed on many coach's and must have better avenues than us to look for a part that THEY need for clients?? Baffles me, unless I miss something here!

edit-- surely someone has the old style for sale if the new type cannot be used?

My guess is FT just buys the axle/drivetrain system. Meritor likely spec'd it with the ABS system.

That is why FT wants the sensor source when I find it so it will be available to other FT owners.

John/Pat,

Is the p/n in the document John H and I have the correct original one for your coach per FT?  Is yours a Wabco/Meritor system?  If so, hopefully Meritor has an answer to what the correct replacement would be since these were used on coaches going back to build 4594 per that document.

(ETA - I'm surprised Meritor would list the R955342 as the replacement for the original sensor if it didn't fit in the same applications.  Has anyone contact their technical support folks yet to ask?)

There should be an ID tag on the rear end housing, if yo can find it, take the number and call Meritor.

I was able to contact technical support and was told there is a part number on the wire of the sensor and that number is needed before they can help.

Searching older posts and found this by Michelle.  This answers one of my questions regards ABS sensors.
