ABSTRACT:
A sensor unit (110) for use with a vehicle component housing (16) includes an electrical sensor assembly (12) and a sensor shell (14). The sensor assembly (12) has an inner portion (64) with an electrical pickup (20) which is electrically responsive to a condition inside the housing (16). The sensor assembly (12) further has an outer portion (30) with a pair of electrodes (24) for connection in an electrical circuit. The shell (14) has an installed position in which it supports the inner portion (64) of the sensor assembly (12) inside the housing (16) and supports the outer portion (30) of the sensor assembly (12) outside the housing (16). A detent structure (90-94) on the shell (14) snaps into interlocked engagement with the housing (16) upon movement of the shell (14) to the installed position.
