Coolant level sensor plug

Post by Holty »

Hi All,

I need a new plug that go onto the collant level sensor-my earth cable has broken off.

Does anyone know where I can get one from?

Thanks in advanced.

Just replace the terminal in the housing and a new length of cable if it is too short. No need for a new housing.

No. It is a terminal like this one, depress the two tabs with tool as shewn or fine screwdriver and push the terminal back out of the housing. There are two slots in the housing for access to the tabs like in 2nd pic.
