WTB: Stupid little C clip thing for JB4 boost solenoid connector

Matticus91 · 01-05-2017, 01:17 PM

Pic attached. Like an idiot I lost the stupid little clip thing that you're supposed to push in to release the connection for the boost solenoid. I just need the metal clip itself not the whole connector. Does anyone have one or know where I can get one that fits the JB4 cables?

just email them: jon@burgertuning.com

They may have it for a reasonable price. I fixed my used N54 JB4 G5 that had broken pins/female connectors and missing wires for <$10.

I contacted them and they wanted me to buy a whole harness

They don't sell just the clip. But there is a cheaper solution..

That's better than the whole harness but $8 for a connector is ridiculous. That should be less than a dollar.

Yes, the cost of making a connector is cheap. Doesn't mean that's what we pay.

Found a solution thanks to your post, now that I know the connector is an EV1 style I was able to find a shop down the street that has them for $1.75 with the seals and terminals. They get them in bulk at just under a dollar each!

Also found a set of 5 for $6 free shipping lol

Or 1 with boot and terminals for $2.11 shipped
