Description

Key Features & Benefits

This little part basically holds the wires and connections for different sensors or components, usually related to your engine or transmission. It’s designed to keep those connections safe, dry, and properly aligned. Think of it as a central hub where several electrical "roads" come together. The ‘5 – position’ part means it's built to handle five different connections – five separate wires plugging into it. You'll typically find these on things like your transmission range sensor, speed sensors, or even parts of the engine management system. It’s connecting the sensor to the car’s computer, letting the computer know what’s going on with that component. It’s a surprisingly important link in the chain. It's not something that directly makes the car go, but without a good connection, the car won't know what’s going on.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this housing cracks, corrodes, or gets damaged, it can cause all sorts of headaches. You'll likely get intermittent electrical issues – things working sometimes and not others. That can lead to warning lights on your dash, rough running, or even the car refusing to start. The housing itself acts like a shield, protecting those delicate connections from moisture, dirt, and vibration. If it's failing, those connections are exposed. If you're seeing issues that seem random or electrical in nature, a bad plug housing is definitely something to check. You can find a replacement pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online carry these, and it’s usually a pretty straightforward fix. You’ll notice if it’s cracked or visibly damaged when you take a look, usually.
