mickeyw Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Having killed my MJ's Lambda sensor, probably by giving a drink too often, I will be taking the advice of the MS/MJ experts and removing it while deep wading in future. I've already turned up a nice stainless bung to screw into the boss while it's removed. Yes I know a spark plug would've fit, but there's a limit to what I'm prepared to bodge Now I'm thinking about the best type of connector to use so I can quickly unplug the sensor as required. I don't want to use spade crimps. For a start they look a bit yeah ha in that application, plus I can't see them lasting too well in all the muck and crud. Ideally I like to use something like the round OEM LR loom to lambda plug, and make a plastic bung to fill the connector left on the truck when the sensor is removed. They have a nice seal to keep muck out. Alas, I don't have anything to canibalise for this purpose. Anyone like to make any recommendations what they use, or know of something suitable?

Bowie69 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 One of the Durite weatherproof connectors on this page is pretty much ideal, they come in a 4-pin version... £5.52, but worth it http://www.vehicle-w...iconnectors.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeAK Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I use these connectors from PoleVolt good for any water proof connection not just lambdas Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Also, lengthen the wires on your new Lambda and then have the plug inboard of the truck, which means its easier to unplug and lives in a better environment too Superseal plugs are very very good Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynic-al Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 i bought 2x 4-pin waterproof connectors, so i can fill the holes of the spare with silicone to make a waterproof bung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
