I decided to ohm all of the glow plugs and injectors pending the upcoming winter in my 1994.5 PSD. When I removed the front plug from the driver side right behind the AC compressor, it came off easily like the rest. However, both glow plug pins on the connector were broken off and still attached to the pins in the valve cover (I didn't do this taking the plug off). The plug smelled burnt. Since only one glow plug was in spec, my plans are to replace all of the glow plugs, wiring harness, and possibly to injector o-rings at the same time. However, I don't want to put it back together with this broken and probably unworking connector.

What can I do to fix this? Is going to a junk yard, cutting off a connector, and then putting the new connector on my wiring harness my only option? Considering the voltage that is running through this connector and the good connection that it probably needs running the injectors as well, is this even an option?

 

I think you can buy new connectors from Ford. I can't find part numbers yet but I'm lookin.

Thanks for the part numbers everyone. It looks like I have plans for next weekend...

When you buy the plug, you just get the plug itself for $80? Do the factory wires come out of the plug and are reusable (since they are undamaged)? I ask because I am a little confused on what the 6" long wires are used for.

 

well for 30 dollars from ih you get all 4 plugs and everything in THIS PICTURE that sounds like all you need.

I do stock these! Give me a call.

 

Powerstrokeshop.com is the way I went when I changed my valve cover gaskets, under valve cover wirring harness, and the connecters that are on the engine harness and connect to the valve cover gasket on the out side.
He was the cheapest on all the parts and fast delivery.
