Broken 240 Fuel Injector Electrical Connector 240

Discussion in 'Volvo 240' started by DL152279546231, Jan 24, 2004.

  1. I was trying to pull the electrical connector from the top of the fuel injector
    and one of the 2 wire ends came out of the connector and is up in the plastic
    sheathing. Can I cut that insulation off and push it back through the connector
    or can the wire be unplugged from wherever it connects at the other end and
    replaced? Or should I cut it off in the middle, find a replacement in a salvage
    yard, and use solderless connectors to reconnect it (ugly option)

    Replace the loom complete with one from a wreckers yard.

    Cheers, Peter.

    by DL152279546231 dropped his wrench, scratched
    his head and mumbled,
    Spray silicone on the sheathing, slide the boot up over the sheathing,
    pull the wire and connector out far enough to inspect it, bend the little
    retaining lock tab back into position and replace it in the connector
    housing. Reinstall on injector.

  4. Spray silicone on the sheathing, slide the boot up over the sheathing,
    This did the trick although I did it before I read this thread and did not know
    to use silicone on the boot, would have been much easier.

    Please see my other thread "more fuel injector woes"

    Thanks
