Electrical connectors - t-stat housing

hades · 10-24-2010, 05:35 PM

the fan switch broke off the engine harness and my fan switch is not is much better condition.

Any where to get replacement connectors-besides ray?

***TitaniumTT*** · 10-24-2010, 05:43 PM

Why not cut the connectors off and crimp on some new ones. Skies the limit but with the amount of A's those draw I would go with some weather-paks or 280 series metri-packs.

Terminal Supply Co or Del-City.net would be the best places, but I believe they have a $25 minimum order. I have seen them @ Napa on occasion.

digi-key probably has the plug you want. or just re-crimp new plugs of a different style on. would be pretty easy.

sorry - a bit not sober - but how do you change connectors - if they have to fit the sensor?

I use GM weather packs .Just solder wire ,wires to the unit and install a GM connector .Cut the broken connector from the harness and put in the maching GM connector .I keep 1 wire 2 wire 3 wire and 4 wire ones in stock .They make a 6 wire one as well .I buy them by the box and have been useing them for several years.I solder on the wire wires to the sensor and fill the cavity with epoxie .

Thanks,

Rotary Performance gave the same advice. Where do you get your connectors?

also can a mod fix my typo in the title?

***TitaniumTT*** · 10-25-2010, 08:08 PM

There are three places that I use, but I buy in bulk, regardless, I'd stock up. They're great to have around rather than waiting a few days

Waytekwire.com
TerminalSupplyCo.com
DelCity.net

Terminal Supply and DelCity have connector kits, I believe. Watch the A ratings though. Metri-Pak 150's are good for 14A, Weather-Paks are good for 25 or 30 I believe.

hades · 10-25-2010, 08:22 PM

can you get them local? Napa, lowes, etc?

***TitaniumTT*** · 10-25-2010, 08:44 PM

Seen then @ Napa a few times for sure..... How quickly do you need them?

hades · 10-25-2010, 09:10 PM

i would say this weekend--but its Halloween -- which is a drinking holiday - which means I will probably sleep/hate life sunday.

***TitaniumTT*** · 10-25-2010, 09:38 PM

Ah, yeah, sadly I have to be at work friday-wendnesday at 7:00 or earlier.... so yeah, no fun for me this weekend...

Give a call to Napa and see if they have them, if not, hit me up and I'll drop a set in the mail to ya

hades · 10-26-2010, 09:10 AM

do you need the 144.00 tool to install these?

***TitaniumTT*** · 11-04-2010, 05:13 PM

No, the weather/metri packs can be installed with a $15 radio shack crimper, but it takes three different crimps to get them tight. The proper tool does a better job in one crimp. The deutch connectors on the other hand, or any mil-spec plug... I spent $320 on those crimps but OH MY GOD ARE THEY SOOOO SEXY....

hades · 11-04-2010, 05:46 PM

thanks. we use deutch at work. I thought of getting help from a EE there, but they are not my favorite people.
