Subject:Splicing O2 sensor?
Date:Wed, 26 May 1999 16:32:48 -0700

Hi Volks,

Ok, This week I dusted my 2nd Cat Converter in a year....  I think its time to
put in that new O2 sensor.

The Sensor I have in the van differs slightly from the one I purchased.  The old
Sensor has connection points that look like those on the power window switch,
kind of pronged or fork like.  The new Sensor has a more modern looking
connector, shaped like a ciggarette lighter, like a plug (sorry for crappy
details, dont have sensors with me).

Both sensors have 3 wires each (2 white, one black), and the same part number on
them.  My questions, then, are:

1.  Are these interchangable sensors or am I risking damage by using my new one?

2.  How do I splice the wires on these suckers.... how do i know which white
wire on one sensor goes with which white wire on the other sensor?

Thanks,

Jeff
