soooo...

saturn techs are ******* idiots, back when i first got the car they fixed the IC Pump Reversed wiring TSB for me... well, eversince the pump has worked but only intermittently... i figured it was meant to work that way, kinda like how the fans only kick on at a certain temp...

well, i started getting curious now that i know alot more about the car than i did when they fixed it and...

i decided to climb under there and take a look at the pump myself. well... i found that the clip was loose and on half cocked, so i took it off, blew it out and put it back on, still no luck... the clip didn't want to go on all the way (hence the reason why it wasn't all the way on in the first place) my guess was they bent the pins inside and were too lazy to replace the clip so they put it on half cocked and seen that the coolant was flowing through the check valve and decided it was good enough. Well... i was right. they fixed the TSB but created a whole nother problem.

i got a flashlight and checked things over... come to fnd out... the top left pin on the right side of the clip is COMPLETELY FOLDED IN HALF!!! I know the IC Pump still works fine because when i put a slight amount of pressure on the clip it starts pumping like nobody's buisness, but it quits as soon as i let go of the clip...

here's some pics...







My question is, does anyone have an extra clip lying around that i could have/buy? i would need the clip that connects furthest to the passanger side of the pump... And if anyone does have one i would need a few inches of wire with it so i can splice the existing harness into the new clip.

this one here...



SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!! ive been running 100mph traps WITHOUT my IC Pump working... imagine the possibilities with it working correctly.

 

I lost mine when i replcaed the pump so i just pushed it on and used some electricaly tape around it and mine has been working perfectly for 2 months.

 

I did the same thing but my clip broke where it wouldnt snap on!

 

Not the wire clip that holds the plastic clip in place... one of the pins inside the power/ground clip is broken off...

I need the whole plastic clip.

 

Try GM

 

Only luck may be in a junkyard, I've tried to get a clip with the similar problem for another car and no one sold them. Good luck with that.
