The part is available from Amazon for $35 and the Youtube video shows a guy replacing one in less than a minute by removing 2 screws. I don't work on cars, but even if I did, I think the check engine light would still need to be reset. Do these prices seem reasonable?
This is not rocket science, get a cheap one from Amazon, pull out two screws, replace it. Disconnect the negative cable to the battery for a minute, reattach it. Codes gone light out all is good.
