Does anybody have the part number for the stock pigtail?

Despite tying to be gentle and careful taking it off to put my TB spacer on, I STILL broke the danged thing. Yes, I pulled the red slider all the way out, and I knew the tab was hung up, but still broke it.

At this point though I've fabricated a metal clip [from a large cotter pin] to hold it on, which is working fine and is probably 1000 times stronger than the plastic retainer, I would still like to replace it with a new stock-appearing plug.

Since the last time I tried to buy a pigtail [when I extended the MAF wire] I got nowhere with my local dealer parts department, any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I'll take a look tonight to see if it is a standard plug available from one of the electronics houses. So far, Ford has been consistent in using Chinese plugs that I cannot source over here.

 

I broke mine putting on my spacer too. I fixed it with a dab of silicon holds it on there tight but not so tight I cant pull it off.

 

I've found, after breaking a few connectors, if you warm them slightly with a heat gun, before trying to disconnect them, they have a less chance of breaking.

 

Man, a definite case of newer NOT being better... Gimme an old rubber plug with a big glob of dielectric grease on it...
