I would replace the connector. They make what is called a pigtail at a parts store. Tell him your vehicle information and ask them for a pigtail. Then you just solder and shrink wrap the wires.

Believe I got that straight. The connectors seemed loose inside connector. I been driving for about 20 minutes and when I shut it off I heard a humming sound that seemed to be coming from that box that is located on top of driver side fender. Does that mean computer trying to go bad?

Unplug it after turning it off. If the noise stops, then yes, replace it.

I have recently started hearing a noise sounds like it coming from transmission. On a cold start if you put foot on brake an hold the sound starts, you put in neutral an it stops. It won't do it every time but was just wondering what it may be? An another if defrost is on why are the fans kicking on an off? Relay again?Thank you

As far as the transmission, I would start by changing the fluid and filter. It may be making the noise from a clogged filter.

As far as the defrost, The AC compressor is commanded on in defrost which means the cooling fan will operate.

Yes it does, but the fans will kick on an off. Is that what they are suppose to do? And that noise on transmission is like clack, clack, clack. Put in neutral and it's a hard shift. Could it be over filled?

Yes, the cooling fans are normal.

No to overfilling.

Okay, I heard the noise, That is way too deep for a transmission noise. It sounds more like engine related.

The first thought is a cracked flywheel. I would have a shop double-check this and confirm. It could be a warning of something serious coming up.

The noise is not getting louder but I did seem to catch in action. Car was on operating temperature, and when given very little gas. It sounded like it was low of oil but wasn't knocking.

Recently I've noticed my windows fogging up from inside. More than likely that is heater core leaking right? And I have noticed like the rpm's will hang little high when foot off accelerator or when driving. When I ease my foot off it the rpm's will drop, but soon as foot back on gas it jumps back up there like very sensitive? Could the be signs of weak fuel pump?
