master cylinder connecter ends

[azaizai]

anyone have to repair the metals ends to the 3 wires in the connecter to the master cylinder? I'd love some advice, a part number or a recommendation on how to approach trying to repair the lil terminal end.

I got a code 14 (low fluid @ abs check) and my fluid is tip-top.

I popped open the connector and the black wire is missing the tab that makes contact with the female end. I was unsuccessful finding the perfect tab @ o'reillys (the one that got the closest was too wide and long) and dont know if I should keep searching for the end (perhaps at ford), look for a whole new connector/wires (@ ford) or say damn it all to ABS and lock my brakes up like never before!

Thx for the help!

Some good auto parts stores sell commonly used connectors. Sometimes uncommon ones as well.

If that fails, you can probably get repair parts from Ford. And there is the junkyard option.

Most parts stores have a way of ordering some connectors like MAKG said, but they dont keep a good inventory of them. You could try looking through the catalog till you find it...if you find it. I would probably just go to the nearest junkyard and snip the connector and pigtail off of a donor...that is of course if your good with wiring. I'd hate to be "that guy" that tells someone to cut their wiring harness and splice something in without knowing if they obtain wiring skills...If not, any good shop will be able to perform the work for you.

got lucky and the local ford dealership had some pulled harnesses and one just happened to work.

thx for the advice...not having abs 'cause of one lil 3mm piece of metal is annoying ><
