Yesterday I went on a little hunt for a transmission connector (solenoid pack) to replace the broken one in my E4OD, just as I went to one of the junk storages I was told this one was the one I needed (I was pretty sure it wasn't, but I was promised I could exchange/return it, so I went for it), Now I have this thing which I have no idea where it came from, now, let's have a look at it, maybe someone will be able to help me identify it, I've already looked at 5R100W and AODE plugs and they look different:







My suspicion is this one is an E4OD MLPS connector, if it is, will it work for my model (93)?.

 

Ford updated the solenoid pack connector for the 1995 model year:


The 1994 and earlier version looks like this:


I am not certain they interchange. I do not think they do...

 

Can you confirm if my pictures show a MLPS connector? I was unable to upload them before you posted so you missed them. BTW, my solenoid connector is of the older kind.

 

The first photo is not an MLPS for an E4OD.

The MLPS is the drawing on the upper right


Notice it has 8 pins, not 12.

 

So no MLPS... What could this thing be then?.

On edit: I found the bugger, it's an AODE connector, the previous pictures I found weren't accurate, PN D76445EK

Good find. I looked at a 4R70W MLPS plug, it did not match either.

 

I paid $2.5 for it... Wonder how much I can make out of it since it costs $135 new. On another related news, the guy that screwed over texted me saying he did find the proper connector, so it's a win win (as long as he got the right one this time, we'll see tomorrow).

 

Well, my new best friend came through, he got not one but both types of connectors, so if I replace the solenoid pack later on I'll be able to use any of them:



On the left side the older type (pre-94), on the right side the later type (94-95).
