ABS Pigtail Repair

[tacocat]

I cracked the junction between the upper and lower portion of the ABS socket pigtail on the front knuckle while pulling the front springs.

Does anyone know of a similar female socket from Metripack or OEM?

I can fix the lower with epoxy and fix it, but a new lower socket would be stronger.

On a side note, the ABS wires are substantially thicker than the ABS micro baby hair wires on the Tacoma, 4Runner and FJ Cruiser.

Available from Mr T as a 6” lead with the contact installed. Splice and insert into connector body. Connector body available too.

Thanks. I couldn’t find the part number, except for the complete harness assembly.

The part number is on the rear of one or both connectors. Post it and I'll try to find it in the Wiring Harness Repair Manual for you.

You can buy the whole pigtail, but that may not be necessary. The connector housings and terminals are Yazaki, and can be purchaed directly from them or their distributors. The wire is wire.

Or you can hit up @Deathvalleypaul and have him clip one off with 6” leads from one of the cruisers he is parting.

Here’s the bottom half of the pigtail. It’s 11467 on one side and XA2 on the other.

This is the upper portion (2946-MA1), which is fine.

JB Welded the cracked coupling flange between the two connectors. I wonder if Plasti-Weld would have been a better choice, but the repaired junction was extremely strong.

Repaired ABS pigtail.

Pictures of pigtail socket vs ABS sensor. I’m not sure why we need the top portion? My research leads me to believe a rear pigtail for a 1st Gen Tundra might work as well.
