Detailed Description

Standard Ignition S3136 is an electrical connector for crankshaft position sensor service, built to restore a secure signal path between the sensor and the vehicle harness. The connector uses a rectangular body, male housing, and female blade terminals to match the specified OE-style interface. With a 380 mm harness length, it provides added reach for routing in engine bay repair work on Ford F-150, Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, and related platforms.

Use this connector when servicing crankshaft position sensor wiring on 2007-2016 Mini Cooper, 2011-2016 Mini Cooper Countryman, 2013-2016 Mini Cooper Paceman, and the listed Ford and Lincoln models. The S3136 part number is also a useful reference when matching replacement connectors during diagnostic or harness repair work.

What It Helps Fix

• Intermittent crankshaft position sensor signal loss
• Broken, heat-damaged, or corroded connector terminals
• Wiring repairs after harness damage near the sensor
• Hard-start or no-start conditions tied to connector faults
• Check engine lights related to crankshaft position sensor circuit issues

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal style, and harness length against the original part before installation. Inspect the mating sensor pins and surrounding wiring for corrosion, spread terminals, or insulation damage before connecting the new pigtail. Confirm proper wire routing away from heat and moving components, and follow the vehicle service manual for splice and terminal repair procedures.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies electrical service parts for professional repair use, and S3136 is built to match the specified connector format for the listed applications. Confirm fitment by year, make, model, and connector style before ordering.
