I replaced the under car fuel filter which had rusted out and was leaking a few days ago and have introduced another problem. I had replaced the pump and filter 11 years ago. Now the wires to the pump electrical connectors had just corroded and broke off (MN salt no doubt) just before going into the connector. The original connectors each had two tangs to squeeze to release it from the pump. I cannot find these type connectors anywhere!
What I have in place and working for a replacement (but am not happy with) are Volvo P/N 3523813. These connectors just use the metal inside to squeeze the prong in the pump for the electrical connection. There are no tangs for a mechanical connection. The P/N 3523813 connector was used by Volvo to connect the side marker lights. They can be found on several sites such as FCPEURO and VOLVONEST. The thing that I am most concerned with is the smaller size of the wire in the replacement and the current handling ability of the smaller wire?. The pump assembly is back together on the 940 and working but I am concerned about the current draw of the pump and the smaller wire size. Should I be concerned about the smaller wire size?
What I would like are a couple of the connectors with pigtails and the tangs to secure the connection to the fuel pump as was done originally. Anyone have ideas on where I can get these connectors for a better fix?
We still have 7 940s running and 3 junkers. They are all Regina fuel systems but 2 which are Bosch fuel systems. The other Bosch system is corrosion free, a Southern car.
