First, are you talking about the "crank" or the cam sensor? Those 2 sometimes get mixed up, and, second, check to see if you pinched the wires between the tranny and engine block. This is a very common problem to people new to this system.

A 60 amp fuse in a circuit designed for lower amps is a good way to burn up your truck.

    I've removed the camshaft sensor. How do I disconnect the electrical plug? Is there two catches holding it on...one on each side? Do I lift these with a small flat-head screwdriver?

    Have replaced 3 camshaft sensors and the timing belt. After replacement all's fine for about 6-8 days and then you get an engine check light, code it's always camshaft sensor.
