If you broke the connector, snip it off, and take it down to the flaps, they should (if they're any good) have these in stock. Get a new rubber boot for it too. Then install with either solder and heat shrink (don't neglect to twist the wires together properly first), or use crimp on butt connectors. Finally, before you push the connector on, put a bit of dielectric grease on the terminals. A couple of tips: 1.) The wires to the temp sensor are not polarized, i.e. you can swap them. 2.) If you need to get this thing going to run down to the flaps, connect the temp sensor wires together, it'll be hard to start, but should run ok once warmed up. Joshua Van Tol -- jjvantol@uswest.net |
