In my 1995 855, the ground wire bullet of the OBD port/module (under the hood) was broken off. I tried to find a replacement part from dealer and online, no luck.

Do anyone know where I can buy a replacement ?

Thanks,

Ching-Ho Cheng

That OBD box can be taken out. Brought mine inside and carefully disassembled it and resoldered that wire. Applied a bit of liquid tape and reinstalled.

Thank you for the reply. However, the broken piece was the plastic white color bullet itself. It broke right at the point where the black ground wire met the white plastic. There was no soldering that could be done to reconnect the wire to the plastic bullet.

I tried ebay but no luck. I have not tried the local Salvage yards yet.

Sorry we have no junker 850's in the breakers yards up here just now. Sorry!

Robert might be worth a shot on his junkyard tours.

Bullet type electrical connector and attach that. Even easier than my process since mine was right at the box. Crimp style or solder. Amazon, Habor Freight, etc. Cheap ass way? strip wire and double up the bare wire on itself to make enough contact between wire and female port.
