o2 sensor question.....

96imp · 11-04-2003, 10:45 PM

the long version:

being not the smartest person in the world when i was putting in a new half shaft i had to drop the muffler and what not to reach the roll pin. i didnot disconect the o2 sensors because there was enough slack, however when i decided it needed to be moved the downstream o2 senesors wires pulled out of the plug(on the sensors side of the plug).

the short version:

Now the question is what wires went in what holes in the plug. there is a blck wire and 2 white wires with no tracers so i'm not shure how to figure out which one goes where and there is no money left in the budget to get a new one. any help would make my day. Is it possible the white ones can be in either spot?

How cool am I?

ChosenWon · 11-05-2003, 08:53 AM

I am sooo coolt aht I felt so bad for you that I went out, in the cold, and took off my o2 sensor, came in and took digital pics of it for you.

Kidding. I recently changed mine out and this was in the trunk.

The white wires are interchangeable, so you only need to know where to put the black signal wire. On a '95 diagram, the signal wire in the harness is also black. Hopefully that doesn't change from year to year. But the signal wire is also shielded, so you can't mix up (the shield does not connect to anything on the sensor side). The white wires are power and ground for the heater. On the '95 diagram, the harness colors for them are yellow/red and white/blue.

hey, chosen, any chance I could maybe buy your dead 02 sensor? I'm working on a harness for my mil eliminator, and I need the connectors...
:-D

Sure how much?

Thanks ChosenWon for the pic but they must be different on yours because mine looks nothing like yours.

As long as avk is right and they are interchangable i should be alright then.
