Hi, folks. I hope you can give me guidance on this one; I don't even know the proper terms, but here goes. The connector (circled) had a green plastic sleeve or such that covered the terminals and held them in place. When fitting it into the socket on the tube, the sleeve broke into small tiny bits, rendering it useless. I have no idea what the sleeve thing is, or if it can be replaced independently of the connector. Any help appreciated!




Thanks,

Ray

 

that is another air temp or flow sensor. you can call the dealer and buy the plug from them or check this realoem.com or buy N14 engine wiring harness off of ebay and replace that plug

 

From the realoem site, it appears to be item no. 18. Trying to get verification now.

Well, as it turns out, I had the connector to the temp sensor shown in the picture; I was trying to plug it into the wrong port. I've swapped the correct plug to that socket, and now I'm just waiting for a replacement for the temp sensor connector; part no. 12527542849. Of course, it's special order. Lucky me!

 

Yes, thats the one. 12527542849 For the temp sensor on the thermostat.
