they didn't send you the wrong one, YOU ORDERED THE WRONG ONE.

Listing specifically says 1995-1999 Maxima

FROM YOUR LINK, under "product description" :
Work with:
1998-2000 Nissan Frontier
1995-1998 Nissan 200SX
1995-1999 Nissan Maxima
1993-2001 Nissan Altima
1993-1998 Nissan Quest
1992-1998 Nissan Pathfinder
1992-2001 Nissan Sentra
1991-1994 Nissan 240SX
1991-1994 Nissan D21
1991-1993 Nissan NX













as to whether or not it'll work, why dont you try it? since you've already got it hooked up.

While the 4th gen knock sensor has a 2 wire connector, the wire harness going to it only has one wire. If you were to use an ohmmeter on the 2 contact pins, you would find that one of the pins is connected to the center metal collar that the bolt goes through. This pin does not have a wire in the harness.

Now that you mention that, i remember my 4th gen did have 2 then at sub harness only had 1 wire, oh well better safe then sorry.

Why is there such a price difference on knock sensors, from $11 to $240? These are for 3.5 Maxima's.

Knock Sensor and Harness
If there's anyone out there that could help me find a knock sensor and the correct wiring harness. I have a 2003 Nissan Maxima. I need the knock sensor wiring harness that has the two connectors. Please help! I looked on Amazon and Ebay and those aren't compatible with the maximas froom 2000-2003. Please help me out! Thank you
