L3130 coolant temperature sensor wiring harness

I think the blue plastic will come off the connector thus freeing the pins to come out the front of the connector.

There are two square holes that may be the release clip access

OK - the blue piece did separate from the black piece. thanks a lot. i feel dumb.

the pins are small. use hemostats or small needle nose maybe to remove them?

Use a strong magnifying glass to make certain there are no small protrusions on the pins locking them in place.

It has been too long for me to remember.

Try pushing them out from the back side.

i removed the rubber grommets at the back of the black piece that insulate the wire. if the wire is wiggled, the connector wiggles. but tugging on the wire doesn't release it and pushing from the other end doesn't help either. i can't see any way to unlatch the connector from the housing. i will try again...

You are going to need some kind of thin blade to slide in above or below the blade to release a barb of some kind.

i appreciate the responses. i have been so busy and really have about given up on ANY solution. there is no p/n on the connector, which makes identifying it impossible.

i wrote kubota yesterday and received the standard 'check with the dealer' and consult the online parts list/manual.

it seems that a 3rd party solution will be necessary.

just an update. a supplier on ebay managed to find this part and today the repair was made! idk how he found a supplier or cross reference for this connector, but he did and it works just fine!

Do you care to share part number(s), link or anything that might help the next user find it more easily?

Thanks for considering.
