Broken Electrical Connector/ Bushing Housing

A couple of electrical connectors have broke on my 07 mini s. One end goes into the thermostat housing, and one in oil pressure plug on the cylinder head. Any idea where I can order replacements online ?

Looking here, searching by the part number may be easier. Are you able to pull any part numbers off of them?

haha we should have them! They probably don't have part numbers on them then. Do the 2 connectors look exactly the same?

I think the 2 pin plastic connector for the oil pressure one is 12 52 7 542 850, which is 15 on the image below:

Yes found that one 15 on your site! But the other one which connects into thermostat housing is two prong with a distinct green plug end. Been looking all over.

thanks

Sorry meant 13* not 15. Small picture haha! Are you able to PM me a better picture of the one we are still needing to find? That way I can have someone help me search for the proper connector that you're needing.

I appreciate It I did find the plug that goes into the oil pressure switch on your site. The only other connector I am trying to locate is the one that plugs into the thermostat housing temp sensor as seen in the picture bellow:

Trying to figure this out for you, sorry. The oil pressure switch looks identical to the temp switch for thermostat, is there a chance you can try removing one of the switches to see if they share the same connector? Even though the oil pressure switch has one electrical terminal the plug housing will still have a spot for two pins.

Thanks alot. Being both are broken it would be difficult for me to try that out. But that may be what I have to ultimately do! They look same minus color. One is Grey and other green..Please let me know if you find anything. I have about $300 of parts sitting on pelican parts .com so I can begin putting my cylinder head back on.

I appreciate it.

Alright, so #5 is what we are looking for the plug to go into:



I do know that sometimes the switches may have the last 7 of the part number on there which we can make into a part number. Otherwise, to me it looks like the lock to hold it in place is good, not sure if I would worry too much about it, but if you can confirm identical connectors with the oil pressure switch and temp switch then the oil pressure switch connector may be the way to go. Sometimes the replacements all come in the aqua green color so it may not be that important. If you can, do a visual check on the pins to in the switch to make sure they are the same size. If so, 12527542850 here may be the part number that can work for the replacement if it will fit the switch on the thermostat. (This one below)

I have same problem, broken connector housings to both oil pressure switch & coolant temperature.
Lotuseyes, did you fix yours & where did you find parts.

Pelican parts, can't tell from your pics if it's just the plastic connector housing only or does it include metal clips, rubber seals, & length of wire to splice into old one?

Hello! It's just the plastic connector housing, the pins will need to be purchased with the wiring separately HERE x2. I just helped another individual with this the other week. Review the thread below for detailed information and pictures:
