Vane Actuator connector
Does anyone know where I can find the wire harness side of the connection to the Vane Actuator? Mine got too much heat I believe and it has crunbled apart. I have been to two Dealerships trying to find one and have had no luck.
Thanks Clayton

Sounds like a cheap part to grab off a wrecked vehicle at the local salvage yard.
Seems like I read somewhere the harness side could only be purchased as one complete unit, but don't quote me on it. Someone that knows for sure will jump in and set the record straight.

Thanks for the help guys! Yeah we searched a connector catalog for about an hour and couldn't find a match. I even went to a few junk yards here in Jacksonville and they had some F-250s but they had all had the motors pulled with the harness missing. I love this site! Reps.

Keep in mind I have seen 2 different connectors. I just did studs on my buddies '04 and it has a different connector then my '06 Maybe it plugs in the same just appears different? Maybe Cheezit can confirm. Just food for thought.

Thanks guys the 97 injector connector was the same. I got one from a junk yard for 5 bucks. Sucks that I took my turbo apart thinking the vanes were sticking and it was just the connection was bad to the actuator. My dad took it off while i was cleaning my intake tubes so i didnt see it until we were putting the turbo back in that the connector was all broken up in pieces. Oh well it was my first time taking the turbo out so it was a nice learning experince.... I searched for that third bolt the night before for an hour to try and soak it down with pb blaster and come to find out the next day the PO i guess had the turbo cleaned before and they never put it back in.

its an updated part.
as per the 7.3 injector harness connector its not the correct part.. it will work kind of anyway. Its missing the weather pack seal.
