Always good to fix it right.

Right, might have some kind of problem.

Reason I mentioned that, the new connector may look identical, but the plastic locks that secures the blades/terminal in place inside may be just a little different. Enough so, it may prevent the original terminals from locking like they should.

Planned to solder correct ?

That's the way I feel about basically everything. I hate rigging stuff together.

LOL.

It'll fit the sensor. I was referring to the old wires/terminal ends into the new connector. Yea, not a good idea, wouldn't attempt it.

Solder FTW.

Weird... there was nowhere to even enter a code. Oh well, as cheap as it all was, I already don't know how they're making money.

Got a couple interested buyers on the Mustang.
They asked about a video of it running.
So, I made a couple Videos to help sell the car.
