Hi all -

After having a wheel bearing replaced (for the second time - the first was faulty), I started getting an ABS code - intermittent signal fault on the driver's front. I investigated that ABS sensor's wiring and it turns out the clip on the wiring is now broken, so I suspect it is getting slightly dislodged under certain conditions, and the ABS will kick in for no reason sometimes; others the light will just come on.

I'm trying to get this squared away since I also need to get an alignment and figure out a strange knocking noise under slow, light braking that started after replacing the front brakes.

Does anybody have any ideas of how to keep this wiring clamped together? The clip is broken both on the sensor and the wiring side. I suspect a ham-handed mechanic.
