Crank sensor wiring

[hybridmoments]

Hey everyone, first post here. I have a new-to-me 2011 Genesis sedan with a 4.6. I'm trying to replace the crank sensor, but on the replacement sensors I've bought from Rock Auto and Advance, the wiring harness on the sensor is too short to reach the engine harness and the bracket the wiring clips to. The leads from these sensors are about 1.5 inches shorter than what I pulled off the car. The crank sensor I got from Rock Auto is OE Hyundai. Am I missing something? Has anyone else had this problem?

Yeah, this is a known headache with aftermarket sensors for these cars. Even the ones labeled "OE" are often just poor copies.

The wiring is just slightly too short, making it impossible to route correctly and clip into the bracket. This stresses the connector and can cause a premature failure.
You almost certainly need the genuine Hyundai part from the dealer. The cheap ones are almost always wrong. Bite the bullet and get the real one it'll save you the frustration.

The one I got from Rock Auto is a genuine Hyundai part. Same part number.
