We broke the retaining clip for the crankshaft position sensor on our LNF. I've checked everywhere I can find and pricing is $49-$120. Whhhaatttt, are they nuts.

Does anyone have a fix other than silicone? I will resort to that before I spend $50 on a connector, but I would sure like to do it right, or right er. Any ideas.

Any of the removed/discarded connectors from the original harness the same or similar? I have not done my harness yet, so I am not sure.. Maybe someone who has done a recent harness can remember?

I still have my old motor and wire harness I’ll look tomorrow. I could just cut the thing off with enough wire for you to splice if u like?

 

[Torchandregdoc]

If you're sure you won't need it, that would be awesome. I'll buy it. This is for an lnf

You can also de-pin the wires and move them to a replacement housing if you do not want to splice it.

I just looked and my sensors only have 2 wire plugs so not the same has you. sorry about that.

 

[Torchandregdoc]

No probelm. Probably going to rtv it until it fails. Thanks for looking.

Rockauto for the win! I know it's not $3.95, but it's not $120.

not sure where it's broke, but I have used JB plastic weld, it's really good, tough stuff.

The latch is what broke. I've bought 2 of them for $50 each and they've both been wrong. Looks like I'll have to spend $100+ to get the right one. When it falls off, it quits immediately, and there's not a lot of room down there to put it back on.

I paid 171$ for a whole new engine harness from GMpartsdirect lol.....

Nuker-

Seriously? Problem solved. Just wish I hadn't spent $50 on a new cam sensor connector on Friday. The harness would have been free. My harness was sevearly oiled and de-loomed. There are several connectors that had wire nuts holding them on. I've soldered up and fixed everything I can, but a nice new harness would solve all the problems.

It's listed for an HHR, but its for the HHR with the 2.0l LNF engine and 5 speed manual trans. Mine should be here next week.
