Broken CPS wires

[aye mate]

The wires for the CPS plug on the harness side broke off when I was swapping my turbo. How do I rewire the plug? Obviously strip the broken wires, but how do I get the old wires out of the plug w/o destroying the connector? Also, what do I need tool wise to do the job?

You should be able to pop the wires back out of the plastic with a tiny screw driver and rewire each indiviual connection on the cps. That's what I did and it worked fine.

Ok, that worked, thanks alot! Now it looks like I will need new metal connectors that were inside the plastic plug. I'm guessing an auto parts store would have these?

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

They might, I reused the old ones but getting new ones is probably better. I'd look around for a store that deals mainly in wiring and things like that but Napa or some others could have them.

What about the black part? Mine are really old and brittle. I know I could take the metal piece apart but what did you do to seal it from the back?

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

I never found a replacement for that, I actually just cut that piece off and soldered a new wire onto the existing one. The clips should have a small hole in them somewhere to keep them from just popping out though. I think I put heat shrink or something similar over it to keep it from sliding out too easily. I don't have a straight answer for that question but maybe someone else can suggest something to use.

Ok I found new inserts to hook the wires up to. Now does anyone know which wires go to which? On the harness side there is a Red, Yellow and 2 Black wires. On the CPS side there are Red, Green(?) and 2 Yellows. Sorry, I'm just too lazy to look it up right now.

I'll have a look in a little bit

Ok looking at it from the back of the plug, mine are

Not sure where your two yellows came from.

Is this from the wire harness side or the CPS side?

Ok, my harness has a Red, Dark Green, Black and Yellow wire.
The wires coming off the CPS are Red, Light Green and 2 Yellow. I would imagine that the Red wires and the Green wires go together. Does it make a difference for the 2 Yellow wires? Can they be hooked to either Black or Yellow on the harness?

Never mind, the white wire on the CPS was just dirty so it looked like another yellow. I found a post on SF that helped me out. Thanks for reading.
