I secured mine using a suitable wire terminal to fit like a washer for the nearest coil pack mounting screw, then bending the sleeve upward to secure safety wire between this and the opening in the connector as shown. Hello everyone, just signed up to share a solution to everyone's issue with these lock tabs breaking. View attachment 301675 View attachment 301676 View attachment 301677 I used an X-Acto knife for this, as mentioned. You may need to make tiny adjustments to the side bumps to get it to lock smoothly. I added silicone grease to it when inserting it into the original lock slider from the connector so it wouldn't jam up again and have inserted and withdrawn it several times during services since originally printing it without any problems. This will make it smoother and also increase its strength. If printing it in ABS (recommended), definitely do some acetone vapor polishing on it. This is because it will have greater strength along the part's axis for insertion and withdrawal. I do suggest printing it with the largest face against the print bed, not upright as shown in the view. When it cooled it retained the shape as shown. I lifted it carefully with a knife blade while still stuck on the heated bed and placed the tip of a jeweler's screwdriver under it. While it is still warm and pliable you may need to bend the center tab upward slightly to match the curve of the original. I happened to use a 0.4mm nozzle, but if you can use a smaller one (such as 0.3 or 0.25) it would be even better for making the finer details.īecause this part is so small, bed adhesion really isn't much of an issue, even with ABS. I chose a 0.1mm layer height and printed it very slowly (20-25 mm/sec). If printed in PLA it probably would be too hard to engage the original connector tab correctly and could break again when you try to unlock it. This is best printed in ABS, PETG or Nylon so it remains flexible. It may fit other applications using "Weatherpack" connectors as well. These all share the same coil pack and connector. I have discovered since originally posting this that it will likely be applicable to. Please note that in the photo it is covered in silicone grease so it appears indistinct, but it is a faithful duplicate of the original dimension-wise. Once printed in ABS and cleaned up a bit using an X-Acto knife and sandpaper I vapor polished it and it works like a charm. So I measured the original and duplicated it as best I could. I searched far and wide for a replacement part and could not find one. I don't expect this to be useful to a huge number of people, but if it is useful to even one person it is worthwhile sharing.Īs anyone who has a 1.4L Chevrolet Cruze (or similar) and who has tried to remove the ignition coil connector to do plug service knows, the orange lock tab will break if you even look at it the wrong way.
