I'm not saying it's your solution, but if you never used contact cleaner it could be worth a shot.

Never did Tom I will give that a try where did you pickup the contact cleaner. Radio shack?

Yes to the leak...... and the fact that it had coded 31 once before. I felt that I wanted to do that job only once. It wasn't hard to do. Just a real pain in the a$$ to get to.

FWIW, I used some "Precision Electronics Cleaner'' from Radio Shack to clean up the plug contacts. It also worked well for some sticking buttons on the auto A/C controller in the dash.

Aesome thanks. I will try the cleaner as well. I did buy another sensor just in case. It was $114 online which was not bad I guess. I swear I paid less for the lat one but that was one ebay.
