Actually... it sounds like this is the odd-ball round connector used on a few of the Vanagons for the black temp sender.

The easiest fix would be to replace the sender with the style that uses the common connector, and then replace the bad connector with one of the standard connectors Dennis speaks of.

Cheers,

Marla, This connector is a standard Bosch or GM connector for sensors and the injectors. A good auto parts store should have it on the Cal Term board or yu can even get the plug, and crimp wires from the dealer. Use a good quality sealing type but connector for the splice.
