ECU Electrical connector

[LiBusa]

When I removed the ECU I broke the plastic lock tab on one of the electrical connectors.  Any suggestions on how to repair or make sure that electrical connections stay attached to each other.

Plug it back in then take a long black zip tie and push it right through the middle of the wires coming out of rear of plug, wrap it around ECM and secure it. Done!

If you can't find a very small wire tie, then crisscross two from the outside. The connector might actually be tight and not require any additional restraint. Anyone know if the pins pop out ? If they do you might be able to get the connector cheap from an electronics store, pop the pins out and push them back into the new body. Good Luck

The pins do come out but you will need an extractor so the pins dont get damaged, just not worth it!
