Throttle Body wiring connector source? - 02 XC70

Post by **scot850** » 09 Sep 2024, 15:53

I found that the flimsy piece of crap that they call a connector for the TB on this car has broken one of the tabs off. I must have done it while removing it. Can you buy the connector itself, or do you have to buy the whole harness with the pinned connectors at the other end?

The wiring harness part number is : 31409380

I don't want to go to the junkyard to cut one off to fit as it will likely be as plastic hardened flimsy too.

If I go down the harness route for replacement, where does the wire harness other end go to? It looks like they have pins on the wires.

Thanks,

Neil.

Dorman makes a lot of replacement connectors, and might have a match, but take a good photo of the connector, looking into the pins or sockets, and use google image search - you'd be surprised how many Volvo engine harness connectors are used on other cars for things like fuel injector connectors and such, so Ali-Express may have a match.

Good idea. I have found both Volvo and PPS wiring harnesses with the connector, but not the actual connector. I will pull one from a junkyard when I get a chance and photograph it. For the time being I have uses some tying wire to hold it firmly in pace and it works for now while I work through the various engine issues to identify if it is worth spending money on.

Thanks for your suggestion.
