It must come out forward because of the way the wiring harness fits on it.
I smashed the old sensor open with a hammer (glued closed) as it was just a dumb circuit board so really no way to figure out wtf happened in there, although I can't really think of a worse place to stick electronic sensors due to risk of getting wet through the carpet on rainy or snowy days.
Bought mine off ebay for $160.
So I saved myself -
Dealer diagnostics minimum: $100
Dealer parts: $640
Dealer labor - quoted 3 hours LOLZ (literally will take you 30 mins or less now that you know where it is): 3x$140/hr = $420
Dealer shop supplies shake down fee: Maybe $40
TOTAL DEALERSHIP RIP OFF would have been $1200+tax!
