What This Product Does

The housing holds the electrical contacts in their intended arrangement where the wiring connects to the fuel level sender. It forms part of the connection used by the fuel indication system; it does not measure the fuel quantity or control fuel delivery.

Functions

• Locates the sender connection's electrical contacts.
• Provides the housing interface between the sender and its wiring.
• Allows replacement of a damaged connector body during electrical repairs.
  
  

Technical Details

• Supplied connector specification: 3-pin.
• Part reference: 90161289101.
• Brand: OE Match.
  
  

Symptoms of Fault

Inspect the connector when fuel readings fluctuate, disappear intermittently or change over bumps. Visible terminal corrosion or a damaged housing also warrants investigation. Similar symptoms can originate in the sender, wiring, earth connections or dashboard gauge, so diagnosis should establish the cause before replacement.

Why Replacement Matters

Renewing a damaged housing addresses the physical condition of the sender connection. Inspect the contacts and adjoining wiring at the same time: replacing the housing alone will not correct corroded terminals, broken conductors or an internal sender fault. Match the connector layout to the original component before fitting.

FAQs

Is this a complete fuel level sender?
No. This product is the connector housing associated with the sender's electrical connection.

Will it correct an inaccurate fuel gauge?
Only if the fault is attributable to the connector housing. Check the sender, contacts, wiring, earths and gauge before deciding which component needs replacement.
