Can someone please explain to me why the connector for MAF sensor just after air box has 4 pins but only 2 wires hook up to it. This is for a 2011 f150 ecoboost. I have a broken connector that needs to be replaced does anyone have a part number for this connector? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Thanks for the parts list great resource. It says I need WPT1241 but it is a 6 pin connector and I only have 2 wires going to connector. Am I correct in thinking I will just have to determine which two I need and clip the others off. To add more to my confusion my MAF sensor has 4 pins that this connector connects to.

 

Then you've mis-idenitified the sensor as a MAF sensor, it's something else.

Which specific engine do you have?

What are the specific colors of the wire to the sensor.

 

I have 3.5 Ecoboost 2011 F150. Here is a picture on the connector.

 

That's MAP/IAT sensor, not a MAF sensor.

 

To clarify:
The part the OP is inquiring about, and pictured is a Mass Air Flow Sensor.
On the 2011 F-150 3.5 Ecoboost engine, the manufacturer is ONLY utilizing the part as an Intake Air Temperature Sensor.
To answer the OP original question:
The part only has two wires running into it because it is only using the, correct me if I am wrong in terminology, the ambient air sensor on the MAF device. If it was also using it as a MAF then their would be more wires running into the device.
Additional note:
If you put an OBDII on the vehicle and check the report you will see that you get a reading for the IAT, BUT not the MAF; the MAF reports N/A. Again this is because the vehicle does not utilize nor is wired for the full functions of the MAF.
Last a 4 pin, 2 wire harness should probably be used to replace the broken clip cover, if possible. At this point I have not identified the relevant part but I am searching for one myself as I have broken mine also.

As this is my first post I really hope this helps

 

hey man how did you fix it? i have the same problem.

 

how did you fix it ? Thanks

 

I fixed it by putting new connector on it. I just clipped the wires that I didn’t need
