Same connection as many fuel injectors. The gel or cal-term boards at the flaps should have them.

Dennis,
And I still can't type on this Windows 8 Phone!

Subject: looking for a source for temp 2/temperature gauge sending unit              connectors

I was in the process of replacing the temp 2 sending unit on my 1990
vanagon and was also checking the wiring for the temperature gauge
sending unit today and the connector for the temperature gauge sending
unit broke. I'm thinking that it would be wise to replace both
connectors since they are exceptionally brittle from the exposure to
the heated coolant. I checked all of the usual places and list vendors
and am not finding anything. The dealership said that they would need a
part # which I wouldn't imagine is going to be on this connector. Does
anyone know of a part number or source for a couple of new  connectors?
I checked the archives but am coming up empty handed. I would really
like to find them new since anything used is going to be likely to be
as brittle as what I removed. Thanks for any help that anyone can
offer.
