Xenons stopped leveling

Just realized last night that my Xenons stopped auto leveling... Few days ago, I had the front control arm bushings replaced. Are these related (read somewhere that the levelers are on the suspension) or just coincident?

In the mean time, I'd like to check whether the connections are loose or not, but the problem is I dont know where they are

Any help would be appreciated!

They are mounted on the lower control arms on the left side. Just a little dogbone attached at one end at the control arm, and the other end to the sensor just above it.

It is possible that the sensor was not plugged in!

The sensor was either loose, not plugged in or had some dirt blocking it... I stopped by the shop and they took care of it. It levels fine now
