I must be using the wrong search protocol or something, but I get no hits from the archives about the connectors of the temp. senders. Mine, the wires are like un-cooked angelhair pasta..real brittle. So about every week, the van starts popping on drop throttle, doesn't warm up well, stumbles and loses gas mileage as the wires break to the Temp II sender. This time, the wire broke right inside the porcelain male plug, and for the life of me, I can't seem to get the little spade connectors to come out of that plug so I can solder on a better wire. Is there some trick? Is there a place to buy that whole connector with wires attached, like some of the O2 sensors come, and splice it into the harness? I checked the Bus Depot's cat. and they show the sender(s) but not the plugs. Already did the senders, now I need to fix those brittle wires. Anybody? Thanks, Don Hanson |
