Is wheel speed sensor wires repairable ?

I was changing struts on my car and after the installation my speedometer stopped working and i have codes saying that there is no signal on both left and right wheel speed sensor. I think i might of have pulled and torn both of the speed sensor wires. I was wondering if i messed up the wires in the wheel speed sensor if its repairable or not.

    Very few vehicles use a front wheel speed sensor for the speedometer. They are usually just for the ABS and traction control systems. If you yanked on the wheel speed sensor wires and now have codes for them they will need replacing.

    If they are broken you can rejoin them ideally by soldering and heat shrink sleeving. Or you can buy new sensors and plug in to the first connection. These sensors tend to rust into place but if you are replacing, WD40 and a tap with a hammer will get them out. I would replace them personally.
