Default Can anyone identify these?

I have changed the chip in my ECU, (in dash passenger side), and I cant remember where these things fit - any ideas?




Thanks in advance.

Those look like the clips on the sides of ECM wiring harness connectors. The ones on my 86 are very similar if not identical. My ECM has two connectors on it and each connector has two of those clips.

These are also on the digital gauge cluster. I am guessing they had a problem with pins backing out of the connectors and these stop that from happening.

Yup--everyone's right--they hold connectors together so they can't unplug on their own.

Good luck, bro!

Those are wire combs. They keep pressure on the connector contacts to keep them firmly seated in the connector.

These particular ones are definitely computer - I haven't been near the dash. Thanks for your help, and oh - MERRY XMAS.
