Wire harness repair!

Camman · Jan 8, 2004

I have what looks to be a damaged plug at my vss sensor, this is the plug of the actual wire harness. Is there any aftermarket place that sells these? I looked on napa and see nothing for the vehicle speed sensor. It looks like the connectors on the inside of the plug are pushed back, is there anyway to repair this? The integrity of the plastic is good, its the wiring inside thats jacked. Thanks for the ehlp

Look at the plug on the ACT or ECT and see if it is similar. The ECT & ACT have a replacement plug available through Borg Warner or Standard Motor Parts distributors. The BW part number is PT 758 and shold be $10-$12 for the connector & about 6" of wire pigtail.

Other than that it is a trip to the junkyard.

If the inside center of the connector is gray, up near the top is a small slot. Stick a paper clip or jeweler's screwdriver in the slot, and the gray part slides out with a little effort. It locks the plastic arms that secure the electrical contacts in place. Once it is out, use the paper clip or jeweler's screwdriver to carefully pry up the plastic arms on top of each contact. The contact can then be extracted from the rear of the connector shell.
