    Long story short, I bought a used July 2018 Model 3 in August 2020. I live in Central KY and we recently had a lot of snow and ice. After I cleared my car, one of my front parking sensors died. I bought a new sensor and replaced it myself with no luck. Tesla Service came to my house today to replace my checkstraps on my front doors. I was told by the tech that the estimate for the sensor would be around $900 if the harness failed. I am absolutely not paying Tesla $900 for a sensor replacement. I've taken the front bumper off myself to check the sensor out and to replace it, but I'm thinking I will need a harness. Has anyone else had an issue like this? I'm looking to repair it myself because paying that much to Tesla is my last option. Does anyone know of a reliable place to order parts or does anyone have any advice?

    Thanks!

    I also have a 6/18 LR RWD so I'm hoping this wont happen to me. Was the parking sensor damaged by snow, otherwise it seems like this would be a warranty issue.

    I would check eBay for the harness if you feel like you can fix this yourself.
