Steering wheel angle sensor

To start, yes I have searched.

I recently installed a new steering wheel with a hub that wasn't spaced properly. When I tightened it down I heard a crunch, so I pulled the wheel off and put the stock wheel back on. Now my turn signals don't cancel and I get the five beeps. The bushing that fits into the steering wheel is still intact, so I'm assuming I mesed up the sensor itself. Is there a way to just unplug that sensor and have the power steering still work?

Are you sure the transfer bush is intact?
There should be two **** on the top that fit into the back of the hub and two smaller tangs on the bottom that fit slots in the sensor.

I'm sure. The crunch I heard was a section of the angle sensor (black ring under the white plastic) breaking off. I unplugged the sensor and I still get the beep, so I'm going to the junkyard tomorrow to pull another sensor.

I did a similar thing when installing my Momo wheel. All I had to do was take the wheel and adapter back off, adjust the inner and outer white rings so the arrows match up, line up the 2 prongs on the inner ring with the 2 holes in the back of the wheel adapter, bolt it back together and everything worked fine. Are you sure it actually broke or is it just misaligned?
