Water temperature sensor help requested
Last week, I was replacing the water temperature sensor on my 1990 XJ6. When I removed the electrical connector from the sensor, it was so brittle from heat and age that it broke in two places. Does anyone know of an online source where I can purchase a replacement connector?

Aren't there two temp sensors? One is a single pin and the other is a two pin with larger connector? If I were in your position, I would just go find a wreck somewhere and cut it off. Jaguar was absolutely horrible for providing connectors so the dealer is out. If it is the two pin connector and my memory is not failing me, it is a common two pin bosch connector that some other manufacturers have used. If it is just the single pin, then its just the generic electrical repair spade type female connector.

Robert,
We're talking about the temp sensor in the thermostat housing right...? And the connector which connects to the temperature sensor.
Is that connector which is broken/fractured leading into a wiring harness? If it is, I would think you would need to go to your local wrecking yard and see if you can find one there and cut out the old and splice in the replacement.
The Temp sensor part number is the same (DBC3728) for the 3.2,3.6 and 4.0L engines, so I think you could assume the connector would be the same regardless of model you find at the yard.
I doubt you can find a source for a new connector end,....but maybe someone knows of one
Good luck

Hi,
If it is the Temp sender unit (one wire), any good electrical store will do.
If it is the Coolant temp sensor, try these guys
