I searched the LR4 Forum and could not find anything for this, apologies if I missed a thread or a sticky with this in it.

2010 LR4 5.0 V8 with a coolant leak with no obvious leaks noted under the vehicle. Presumed it was one of the plastic coolant pipes (heater manifold and coolant return). Replaced both the front and rear and now have a CEL for multiple banks with low voltage for all the knock sensors. There is one harness connector that the lock tab broke on that is secured to the wire harness bracket at the back of the intake manifold(black in color and I believe is the knock sensor harness). I am pretty confident that is the reason for the CEL. I have done the good ole zip tie repair to hold the harness together and I don't think it is working.

My main question; is there a way to get just a replacement connector? Or do I have to replace the whole harness? Below is a picture with the harness in question circled and pointed out with a line.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Kinda stumped on how to make that connection work without having to replace that harness connector. I know it's possible on some connectors to pull the locking plate inside, remove the wires from the connector, and put in a new one with new locking plate. Just haven't had much luck finding one.


circled is harness that has broken locking tab

good luck!

 

That’s a great link. Also, OP, you can look at Ford connectors. I think these knock sensors are probably Ford parts, so the harness might be as well.

 

thank you!! It looks like that site has what I’ll need as far as connectors go.

 

thank you! I’ll keep that in mind. I did notice the “FoMoCo” all over the motor and remembered it’s a ford engine. They sure made these things over complicated for stuff.
