White piece on fuel pump assembly
 

The top white clip(not sure what to call it) is fine, but the bottom piece to it isnt so much... Iv had before trouble starting the car because the connection to it was corroded/burnt (from the positive/negative of the pump the goes up and has a blue clip that goes into the white piece) or something and didnt get a good connection causing my car not to start and me trying to figure it out for almost a week.....

after i found the issue i pushed the clip in and out a few to loosen up/scrape up some of the connector to make a better contact so i can atleast drive the car for a while. Well iv been so busy with work and the car was working i just put it in the back burner atm.... until last night it happened again, luckily i have some tools at work and was able to do it again to get it started and make it home.

So my quistion is, does mazda sell the connector from the pump to the clip? or can you find that some where? or something i can do?

Next question is, the white connector piece with all the wires(harness?) seems very brittle/old from all the years... i believe i asked ray about this once before and i remember he said mazda stopped selling that or stopped making it or something. So what can i do about this?

I believe it's the clip only now, not the white bottom piece

it wont stay in place? ziptie it? electrical contact cleaner and a ziptie should fix it up. unless that connector is attainable at the dealer.

Man up and use you head!
Search the web for an aftermarket fuel proof connector and replace it.
Call local speed shops and ask them.

didnt know what the part is called let alone if it was a part only from mazda or if i can get it anywhere.

I've had the connector break before so I started researching and ended up replacing the setup with a through-bolt style system. Use fuel rated materials and it's pretty simple. cewrx7r1 has the right idea.

Well man I I have one in good shape , BuT if you look at how its held onto the fuel pump tree assembly you will notice its not easy to take out or put in . it crimped on

I remade mine , and ran 10 gauge wire all the way to the FP , then sealed it with Ultra grey

how do you remake it? dont you need the clip to plug it into the top of the inside of the assembly?

not really I mean tehre are an infinate number of plugs out there with 4 wires , I used 2 regular yellow plugs heat shrinked them . and its good to go . This is if your plug isnt working .

If the connector on the inspection panel is OK, as you seem to suggest in your follow up, the short harness to the pump/sender (for rhd cars) was available a few short years ago.....hopefully lhd is equally well catered for?

For electrical connection through the panel, male to female pieces of turned nylon with say a 5mm piece of allthread rod through the middle of that - then ring terminals at each end for connection. Easiest and neatest solution might be to search the auctions, if not the classifieds here.

bulkhead connection and be done.

the stock connector is just for that, stock cars.

so we are clear, i am not talking about the one in the picture, i am talking about the one under that... just making sure.. :scratch:
