Please Help Identify Damaged Connector - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey guys,

I replaced a snapped belt on my Procharger the other day. It appears in the aftermath of the old belt snapping some connector was damaged. I'm not familiar with what this is or how to replace it. I've attached some pictures. It appears to be a 3 headed connector. Was connected to some piping near the intercooler/front of car. I started the car up, no check engine light or any codes being thrown out.

Any help would be much appreciated. Rather learn and work on it myself than take it to a shop to fix.

Car is a 2015 Camaro 2SS 1LE

A/C pressure switch, judging by the location id say it’s the high PSI side.

Actually its the AC pressure transducer, its not a switch.

If you can find a matching connector you can either splice the wire or the better way would be unpin the replacement and pin yours in place.

I was just thinking if that was safe to do lol. The sensor itself is perfectly fine, just the connector/pigtail that connects IN TO the sensor that is damaged.

I think I need to order something like this: https://lswiring.com/collections/con...onnector-kit-2

Pigtails are available from rockauto, ebay, etc but what you linked is a better price and a better repair if you have enough wire to reach and have the correct tool to crimp it. If you are careful, you can probably make the crimp "good enough" with a small pair of pliers.

You should be able to use your existing female pins with that connector and simply push them into the new connector they don't appear damaged in the picture. If you decide to use the replacement female pins go ahead and buy the GM crimp tool on Amazon its only about $20.00 it puts a double roll crimp that is more secure.
