need some advice

Ok so I need some help on my rear o2 sensor my friend brother and i where putting on my tbe and when I took the o2 sensor off the stock cat I placed the o2 on top of the drive shaft well when I begin to bolt on the other parts my friend went around the drive shaft with the o2 and into the cat and me like a dumy didn't check that well everything is done and I pull the car out of the garage and I just hear something fall and look under the car the drive shaft pulled the o2 out of the car but not from the car only wires came out sooooo now I'm asking how to go about this and yes I'm retarded for not checking others work I'm dissappointed at myself

Solder the wires back to the sensor. Also, see what I did at the end of that sentence? I used a period. Punctuation would make your post much easier to read.

Oh sorry about the grammer. I wrote it from my phone, so I guess I wrote like a text. Where does the other end go to? Does the other side have like a clip or something? it was also pulled out from the car where there's like a red rubber stopper. I hope that makes sence

I wouldn't mess with that sensor just go buy a new one. But from what I gather the wires pulled out of the sensor itself? If so that sensor is toast. Or did it come out of the weather pack on the connector side? Either way you might be SOL unless theres still wire attached to the pins for the connector.

same thing happened to mine almost, mine had enough slack to get ripped out by the drive shaft on my wideband and on my rear o2. the solution i had was to run the rear o2 simulator in the tune and wired my wideband to the ecu.

Ok so if I buy it, where is the clip for the o2 sensor? Is it under the carpet under the passenger seat or something?

Just start fresh and get yourself a new 02 sensor. Don't mess with the old ripped wires. I hate when that yellow light appears on the dash as well. For you to go through all that just to find out that your CEL is on after all that soldering was done would suck. G/L
