Jacko_XR3i Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hi guys, not sure if this is in the correct section so mods please move if needed. Im after a couple of connector plugs off the thermostat housing as the wires were covered in oil and have broken at the base of the connector. I was just thinking the best way to repair them was to buy two new connectors and replace them rather than butchering the old ones and soldering the wires back up etcIve tried calling a few breakers, browsing Ebay etc and cant find the connectors new. Am i looking in the right places or am i wasting my time? Should i just get a couple of old ones from the scrappy or something and bodge it? If i anyone can help im after these connectors with part numbers: 89FG 14A464 GBA89FG 14A464 HBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko_XR3i Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 any pics? are they the same as a MK6? as could take the loom out the one I have? I'd imagine they're the same but cant be sure, I'll try get some pics up tomorrow if I get chance. Both connectors are two pin and have the number ES88A written on the them and then the part numbers I posted above. one connector goes into the front and one into the back of the housing if that helps? thats the best i can explain without pictures.

Stu Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 If this is the socket/plug on the sensor then it's a Jnr Timer 2 plug.. http://images.esellerpro.com/2613/I/136/447/0-012-61.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have a proper look tomorrow when I finish this damn night shift! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 The stat housing contains two sensors. The one on the top is engine coolant temperature (ECT) and the one on the bottom goes to the engine temperature gauge on the dash. The bottom one is a Jnr Timer but the one on top is a proprietary round one, usually, unless you've changed sensor (which may be the wrong one, perhaps from a larger eec-v/mondeo type car?). Do you have one of these? http://images2.carpartsdiscount.com/auto/archive/pictures/305883/600/1/P/7F2C4AF/ford_escort_1992_engine_coolant_temperature_sensor_oem_36413.jpg .. or one of these? http://images.oreillyauto.com/parts/img/large/mry/36407.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, I have the round one on the top which is ok. I now have two of the old Jnr connectors/plugs in front of me (damaged ones removed from housing) I assumed one was to do with the temp gauge on the dash as that stopped working quite some time ago but now Im not sure what the other one does. Its obviously a sensor for something but its nothing obvious when the car is running to my knowledge.Still not had chance to get pictures so the best way I can describe it is that one has come from the back of the housing area and one from the front. either way I'm going to order two of them at the weekend and stick them back on. I will get some pictures at the same time and post upThanks again Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko_XR3i Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Apologies!... so the connector/plug I was referring to on the back of the thermostat housing is actually the ignition sensor, Im lead to believe, on the back of the coil pack? its a white sensor.

Stu Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 There is no plug on the back of the thermostat housing. Can you take a photo of what you're talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
