Posted September 3, 200816 yr comment_259163 I was playing with my half shafts the other day and notice two wired going to my gas tank on the passenger side facing the front of the car. One was so lose it fell off with a touch. The connector looked like it would slide onto the terminal on the tank. The terminal on the tank looked like a short stub with a flat hat on on it. My issue is I cannot get the darned wiring connector back on the flat hat!!!I think my wiring connector is worn out. Is there a place I can buy another connector I can splice in?I can take pictures if that helps!

September 3, 200816 yr comment_259165 Yea, a picutre might help. That's for the fuel gauge sending unit. Try pulling back the rubber boot around the top of the connector and see if that makes it easier.

September 3, 200816 yr comment_259167 I ran into that the other day and I had to use a small needle nose pliers to pull the connector up out of the rubber boot, then slide the connector on the stub. Putting the rubber boot back over the connector is a bit difficult. Might try wd40 or something to make it slick.

September 4, 200816 yr Author comment_259250 DOH, good one, I can get pictures, but I think the comments on sliding the boot back to clear the connector is a good one. I was going to try that, but was not sure if the boot moved and did not want to do any damage. I will try that and get back to everyone, WITH pics to help.

September 28, 200816 yr comment_261911 I have used a heat gun/hair dryer to make the rubber easier to slide off or on the connector. I have used this method on a number of the connectors on my cars.
