Standard Ignition S2442 Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Connector

Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Connector Overview

Standard Ignition S2442 is a direct replacement engine oil temperature sensor connector for repairing damaged electrical connections without replacing the full harness. It uses a female oval housing with two female blade terminals and is built for reliable fit, form, and function in demanding underhood conditions.

Compatible With many Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Chrysler, and select Volkswagen and Mitsubishi applications, this connector supports clean repairs on vehicles such as the Dodge Charger, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Ram 1500. The S2442 is a practical choice when the original connector is heat-damaged, brittle, or no longer locking securely.

Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition S2442 is engineered to replace only the damaged connector, helping restore the electrical connection at the engine oil temperature sensor without a full harness replacement. This makes it a cost-effective repair solution for common underhood connector failures caused by heat, vibration, and age. The connector’s materials are selected for long service life and stable performance in harsh environments, while the tested design helps ensure proper mating and circuit continuity.

This part cross-references Hygrade Tuneup 1595 for the same application. For fitment-specific repairs, the S2442 is commonly used on Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Ram 1500 applications, including vehicles where the sensor is located on the water pump, cylinder head, thermostat housing, or oil filter area.

Common Repair Uses

• Broken or cracked engine oil temperature sensor connector
• Loose terminal fit causing intermittent sensor signal
• Heat-damaged connector housing near the engine
• Corrosion or terminal wear at the sensor plug
• Failed locking tab or poor electrical contact

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and wire count before installation. Match the original sensor location and routing on the vehicle, especially on applications where the connector may be located at the water pump, cylinder head, thermostat housing, or oil filter. Inspect the mating sensor terminals for damage or corrosion before connecting the new pigtail.
