My friend and I bought a couple metal pads and the censors broke after a few months. I tried cleaning them but it was useless. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this or where to buy new sensors. Thanks.

ok then, your sensor should look like this.
now get some sort of conductive metal material. (preferably sheet metal) but you can use foil. it will wear out fast though. now ground is the wire where one half of it is going from the pad to the sensor, then one is going from the sensor back into the pad. there are two wires going to ground. cut ground, and also cut the one individual wire you should have( the red wire shown above. take one peice of sheet metal and put it on the bottom part of your arrow. you can glue or duct tape it to the panel. now take your other peice of sheet metal and put it over the old sensor. make sure there is an opening on the bottom peice of sheet metal so the wires can come through. take the two wires for ground and solder, or tape or whatever just so that it will stick to the bottom or top panel.( it doesnt matter wich panel the wires go to.) just make sure the two ground wires are connected to the same pece od metal. now take the other wire ( the red one as in the crappy diagram) and make it stick to the panel that hjas no wires connected to it. do this for each individual panel, then screw them back on and enjoy! if there is problems, just PM me. _________________
