I'm guessing you have the newer 3-wire sensor (if it's a 1-wire and u need help...hoo boy!). I just put a new bosch 3-wire on my own myself. Cut the wires off the old sensor. Cut 'em off close to the old sensor so you have plenty of length. Now get out the new sensor. The two white wires on the new sensor are the heater. They connect to the two wires on the rectangular connector. Polarity doesn't matter. Butt splice those together. The black wire goes on the remaining wire, with the single rubber booted spade connector on the end. That's all there is to it! Before splicing anything, you may wish to slip a length of shrink tubing over the wires to cover the splices.
