Default DIY CAGS Delete Plug

What plug does the harness side of the CAGS solenoid use on the C5? I thought it was a 2 pin weather-pack but I want to be sure so I have what I need before I get under the car this weekend.Thanks

When you buy the CAGS it will come with instructions. It has two parts so that both ends are plugged off so trash and dirt doesn't get into the plugs. The plug is on the driver side of the transmission. Very easy to do. It will take you longer to get the car up in the air and crawl under the car than to to unplug a simple connector.

I am making my own. I just want to be sure what connector is on it so I can buy the correct one. No sense paying $40 for something I can make for less then $10 and not have to wait for shipping.

Your link isn't working... I think your link does show the connectors, might even give a part number...
Cool project...

That's the exact article I was going off of. I bought that connector they reference along with the resistors. The reason I started this thread is that the plug that is on all the CAGS delete pieces looks different then the one they reference.

I ended buying a premade CAGS delete from ebay for $10 shipped. Works fine, but I did buy the wrong connector. So glad I got the premade one, installed it this weekend. Thanks for the help guys!
