The sensor WAS a super easy fix...the connector, not so much. In a ham-fisted fit of Chrysler induced rage...well, let's just say I need a new connector. As a first time Chrysler owner I understand, moving forward, I'll have to get used to this rage and learn to focus it in a more productive fashion. Dealer wants $50 for the "repair kit" 
.
The original connector is holding for now and the ABS faults cleared so at least it was a good fix...and a frustrating lesson.

Thanks Mark. I did find that site earlier but didn't recognize the right connector. Unless anyone spoon fed me a part anything would be just a guess at this point.
As for the Manufacturer's part number, I'll update next week. Talking to the guy from the dealership on the phone, I wasn't getting a warm fuzzy that he was entirely understanding what I was asking but we'll see.

You could just replace both connector halves. Weatherpak connectors are very common.

Bummer. The fronts aren't like that. Guess it's been too long since I pulled the rears.
How about a junkyard? Cut off what you need and splice it in. I suspect that's what the $50 Mopar repair kit is.

ESC/BAS lights on
I just posted the following in a new thread on this forum and then saw this one that gives me some ideas on how to proceed. My JK is a 2010 3.8 and it didn't go into limp mode, but I have the warning lights indicated in my post. It sounds like I need to go to a parts store to have the ABS codes narrowed down. I checked to make sure the speed sensor wires looked good, but I guess one of the sensors could be faulty.
ESP/BAS malfunction
After a wheelin trip on labor day my ESP/BAS indicator light and also the ESP graphic that lights up when you turn the ESP off both stayed on. The next day they were off, but now they've come back on to stay. I have a superchips tuner so I read the DTCs today and had a C123F (Steering angle sensor comparative performance) code. I then tried to clear the code, but it wouldn't clear. I checked to see if my steering wheel had gotten off center and adjusted it a bit, but the lights won't go away. I even drove it around a little in case it takes a bit for the codes to clear. I also had the "small leak in Evap canister" but that code did clear.
Has anyone had this issue and know what to do to fix it?
Shouldn't the Superchips tuner clear the code?
Of course it says in the owners manual to take it do a dealer, but I would rather take care of it myself if I can.

I don't know much about the chips.
I don't know how many sensors your wheels have. If there are in front or back.
Mine were in the back.
My automotive experience level is changing the oil, changing the sensors id say is about as difficult as this.
