quick question.

i bought a water level sensor from mazdatrix, and the connector is a round female one. how do i change it to the flat male one for the oem conector that comes from the car? do i have to splice the wires and attached the old connector from the oem sensor and attach it to the new one?

What I have doen in the past is cut the wire off the old sensor and make a jumper wire out if it..

can i just take the old connector and hard wire it to the new one? aren't there only two wires? or is it one?

Just one wire.
The connectors arnt much though, most auto parts places have them. Its called a spade connector. The round ones are "bullet" connectors. Just cut one of the wires, crimp the connector that you want to use on there and plug it in. Hard wire just means that you have to cut the damn thing every time you replace it(or the next owner)

oh so i can't i just cut the wire, then crimp the old connector onto the new one?

Yes you can. BUT if you crimp the matching connector instead of a butt splice. You won't have to cut the wire.
