I am looking for a crank sensor to be mailed to United Arab Emirates.
Could you please let me know if you have some available?
Thank You.

FYI -- Picked up a new spare sensor on eBay for only US$21, including shipping. Is in an off-brand box, but haven't looked closely enough at it to see if actually is Bosch, etc. I'll likely install it, and carry the old one in the XF as a spare.

Just went to replace mine -- dang, don't have Torx (female) sockets!
There's the big silver heat shield, and a small black heat shield that make it difficult to reach the electrical plug on the CPS, but it was fairly easy to press the harness release tab and lightly pull it off with my left hand.
Ditto on something you really don't want to do when the engine is hot.

Just wanted to say thanks for this thread! Replaced my sensor Sunday. Took about 30-45 minutes. Taking the retaining screw in and out was the biggest issue for me. I used a regular 1/4 socket. If the heat shield wasn't there, it would have been easier.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

Curiosity got the best of me -- I bought another crank sensor off eBay, but this time a true-blue Mopar/MB part ($20 including shipping). Just installed it, and it took less than ten minutes since I knew what I was doing this time, and the connector came off much more easily.
Comparing the parts, the new Mopar replacement has MB markings, but is slightly different from the original MB sensor. And, interestingly, the new Mopar part is exactly the same as the other new one I got off eBay, except the part numbers had been melted off it (so that the part could be wholesaled under a different brand, with no MB warranty). Seen this before, years ago, for another electronic part found via NAPA for another Mopar.

I just fell victim to this yesterday. To the thread starter I appreciate the nice writeup and where to get the part for cheap. The stealership wanted $237....umm no! I'll have it by Fri, so for now I'll keep clearing the code and just pray I dont get stuck.

This Crank position sensor failure, reminds me of my mid 70's mopars - with electronic ignition ! The ballast resistor would go out at the most un oportune time ! No spark, done, nothing, turns over, but won't fire. After that, ALWAYS kept a spare in the glove box - and you know what ??? I have NEVER had to use it !
Oh well, anyways, have my spare sensor in the glove box of the xfire now ! At least I will be ready !
Thanks again for the great thread !
Cheers

To the previous poster - that is very true! Of course it is good to have the part in your glove box, I keep spare bulbs and such in there as well, but to replace this part if it goes out on you in the middle of a trip, would not be ideal to say the least.
The engine bay takes at least 45 minutes to an hour to cool down, and I would not advise trying to replace this part any sooner than that if running hot! The part is right next to the engine and the space is tight.
Plus you need a cool head and the right tools going in. But nevertheless, better to have the part when you need it!

Yes. And if you have to swallow your pride and get a tow to a local garage, having the part in hand (and knowing the problem) will make things go much quicker/smoother.
