one of my 02 sensors was damaged can I repair?
One of the harnesses on my 02 sensor got damaged and was throwing a code. 2 of the black wires got broken while installing my headers somehow. Can I connect them back together or just buy a new sensor? It's a clean brake on the wires. Also, are the 2 wires interchangable, I'm assuming they are both grounds???

You can try it if it does not work you are not out much but your time.

But if soldering doesn't cut it...oh well, you are ONLY out your time.

As long as you splice the two existing wires together you'll be fine. I've actually experimented on a friends ride with wiring extensions to his O2's when he installed LT headers and found out that the O2's can act very funny depending on the wire used, especially when its an extremely low resistance wire like that used in multimeter probes.

Actually per GM, you are not supposed to splice or repair O2 wiring. Any corrosion from improper sealing will affect readings, as well as poor splicing. Now with that said, do what you want, it's your truck.
