Well not too many are lucky when it comes to cleaning them. :P Well the free fix is to clean them, if that doesn't work then it should be replaced with a OEM. Some after-market parts are good but when it comes to sensors, I don't rely on them. I have a lot of after-market parts on a box that I've pulled from a lot of customer's cars next to my toolbox; is my collection. :P Build your FORD tough :P
