Broken Wire Harness Plug on Transmission Sign In

Hello,

I have a transmission purchased from the salvage yard but never installed in the vehicle it was purchased for. It was intended to replace the transmission in a Chevrolet Equinox, I believe it's a 2005 model. I decided to go ahead and advertise it for sale on our local Craigslist but noticed that at some time or another one of the plastic plugs/wire harness plug had been damaged and it appears that one of the 14 metal pins has been broken off.

My question is, is this plastic plug replaceable? Or, is the transmission basically a loss?



Thank you for your help.

I can't tell you for sure but I suspect the plug is part of the control module.

Thanks, I added photo. I'm afraid it's a little blurry.

I think this is a AW55-50SN, I would have to take another look to make sure.

Our trans expert Gary should be along soon and he may be able to tell you if that plug is serviceable or not.

Hello,
The harness is replaceable, it is the internal harness of the trans. The side cover will have to come down and you will be able to see the rest of the harness. It is a 55-50sn trans. Gary

Re: Broken Wire Harness Plug on Transmission Sign In

Thank you for your reply.

I found a replacement wire harness for sale on the net but I'm not sure if it's the right one, Internal wiring harness (with sensor temperature) A/T AW55-50SN AW50-51SN 00-up 55353239 8636442 30651152 30651188. It says number of pins 13.

Is mine supposed to have14 or 13 pins?


Thanks

Re: Broken Wire Harness Plug on Transmission Sign In

Why don't you just count them instead of making someone else research?

Re: Broken Wire Harness Plug on Transmission Sign In

The new one I found on the net said it had 13 pins. So I thought what appeared to be a broken pin on mine actually wasn't broke but just wasn't supposed to be there.

Count the wires coming into the plug.

Re: Broken Wire Harness Plug on Transmission Sign In

According to the previous poster I would have to take the side plate off in order to count the wires and I'd rather not do that as I'm going to sell it. If the plug has to be replaced then I probably won't ask to much for it.

Re: Broken Wire Harness Plug on Transmission Sign In

I count 13 in the wiring diagram assuming this is 2WD.

Thank you for your help. I think it's an AWD but I'm not sure. The only information I have on it is what I found on AUHICO with the VIN #, they show a 2005 Chevrolet Equinox LT 3.4L V6 All Wheel Drive.

Re: Broken Wire Harness Plug on Transmission Sign In

From top post you said you bought it from a salvage yard NOW want to sell it - right? It was never installed by all of this?

Take this thread and allow me to alter your only question was is that plug replaceable it is as a whole harness.

How about asking that salvage yard how much they'd pay to get it back?

It's value was determined by them in the first place part was time + labor get it out and on some crate so it could be moved should have been inventoried so other salvage yards knew it's out there.

You might take a loss or a shortage of them if only as a core IDK nor would you unless installed awful hard to know. That yard however they got it didn't want a bad one so hope (most do) have some info on the thing + where it came from.

Just sell it back to them or at least ask is my suggestion nothing mechanical at all just a huge part of vehicle and I notice folks will fix stuff or when dumping a car over a costly repair it still gets fixed at least around me as new is so dang costly leaves a lot of room to fix the old.

Your call it your item I'm sure in the way,

Tom
