FAQs
What vehicles is this kit compatible with?
This kit is specifically designed for Ford vehicles that use a 2-pin connector for their airbag sensors, matching the Ford OEM part number 3U2Z-14S411-EKB.
Does this kit include the male part of the connector?
No, this kit only includes 3 x 2 Pin Female connectors, 6 x Terminals, and 6 x Seals. It is intended for replacing or repairing the female side of the connection.
What tools do I need to use this kit?
You will need appropriate automotive electrical tools, including a wire stripper, a quality crimping tool for terminals, and potentially a small pick or flathead screwdriver for assisting with terminal insertion and seal placement.
Can I use these connectors for other types of sensors?
While the connectors are robust, they are specifically designed for the electrical and physical requirements of Ford airbag sensor connectors. Using them for other applications may not provide a secure or reliable connection.
How many repairs can I perform with this kit?
The kit contains 3 female connectors, 6 terminals, and 6 seals, allowing for up to 3 separate connector replacements.
What is the purpose of the seals?
The seals are designed to create a watertight and dust-tight barrier around the wires where they enter the connector. This protects the electrical connection from moisture and contaminants, which is crucial for safety systems.
Where should I store this kit?
It is best to store the kit in its original blister pack in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals, to maintain the integrity of the components.
Troubleshooting
Connector not securely attaching to the sensor.
Ensure the correct 2-pin connector is being used and that the terminals and seals are fully seated within the connector housing. Check for any obstructions.
Poor electrical connection after repair.
Verify that the terminals were properly crimped onto the wires using the correct tooling. Re-crimp if necessary, ensuring a firm connection.
Water ingress into the connector.
Confirm that the seals (37360) were correctly installed and created a tight fit around the wires before inserting them into the connector. Ensure the connector housing is fully latched.
Vehicle airbag warning light remains on after replacement.
Double-check all connections, both at the sensor and any other related harness points. Consult a professional mechanic or diagnostic tool to read specific fault codes, as the issue may lie elsewhere in the airbag system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the Need: Determine if the existing Ford 2-pin airbag sensor connector is damaged, corroded, or requires replacement.
- Prepare Wires: If replacing a connector, carefully cut the old connector off the vehicle's wiring harness, leaving enough wire to strip.
- Strip Wires: Strip approximately 5-7mm of insulation from the end of each wire.
- Crimp Terminals: Using appropriate crimping tools, securely attach the included terminals (37355) to the stripped ends of the wires. Ensure a solid mechanical and electrical connection.
- Insert Seals: Place the rubber seals (37360) into the rear of the new female connector, ensuring they fit snugly around the wires.
- Insert Terminals: Carefully insert the crimped terminals into the corresponding cavities of the new 2-pin female connector until they click into place.
- Connect: Once the repair is complete, connect the new female connector to the corresponding male connector on the airbag sensor.
