Connector wires ripped off, repairable?

[white_dsm]

I got the wires ripped off the coolant temperature sensor, right at the plug.

any way to repair it? can I take the plugs out and put new ones in with a pig tail or just hit up a dealer?

The connector is able to be taken apart, you should be able to pull the plastic outer casing off and then you'll see the rubber boots that cover the wire/plug in the connector. You should be able to use a really fine point screwdriver to unlock them and push them out of the housing. then you can strip back each wire and remove the old wire from the pin in the plug and redo it back to the way it was. Should work for ya.

Why not just go to a junk yard cut the plug off another car and splice it back together

I wish it would be that easy for me... All the local 'yards' dont have any DSMs. People would rather keep them rotting away and sell parts off of them mad high because they claim "people make race cars out of them" :/

Dang these things are hard to take out of the casing,,, still going and nothing

Yea they are a bi***, but like RSTeclipse said, might try to just find the plug in a YARD.

screw that for now, I hate going straight to the last resort. I'll get it.

The junk yard, well at least for me, when i see harness i cut off stuff just to have as spares.

Got it! Everything fixed now, woohoo!

Thanks for the tip!

 

[white_dsm]

Oh just wondering, would this sensor being unconnected cause my ac not to blow cold?

If you're good with a soldering iron, that is an good way to repair torn wires out of those connectors

...and a nice hatpin to get those connectors out of the connector housing.....
