Does the style of the weatherpack connector change if you go from a 1 bar to a 2 or 3 bar sensor? I had a one bar, bought a 2 bar and the connector wont't fit. Is that right? If so where is a good place to order a new connector?

The picture below is not mine but I have two that look just like it.

Doh! I think I just found my answer. Some guy on a site posted Delphi blueprints of the sensors. I see they are different. I still need to find a connector.

yes, they're different. I've always modded mine by cutting a slot where needed so the 1 bar work on the 2 bar.

Typically the one bar connectors are green and the 2 and 3 bar connectors are orange. The pins and pinout are the same and cutting a slot is the quickest solution.

Hmm, I hope Frank does not cut himself with a razor blade. LOL!

eficonnection.com sells a 2-bar (orange) wired connector with pigtail for $11.50.

If you do, and you don't already have a WeatherPak pin removal tool, the barrel kind, you might spend an extra $5 or so to get this tool - it saves a lot of time.
