SP122 ground splice pack wire gauge needed
Looking to see if anybody knows the wire gauge for ground splice pack SP122. Looking to replace with a better connector and need wire size for the pins.
Thanks in advance.

Wire gauges are listed on the schematics in mm squared cross-sectional area. If you do a search online you can find calculators and conversion charts to convert AWG to metric.
The manual shows SP122 with seven wires so I'm not sure what that is in your picture. I only see 5 wires.
In any case th manual shows SP122 pins A and C as .35 which is roughly 22AWG. B,E,F,J, are .8 or 18 AWG and D is 3 which would be 12AWG.
Found this in the manual for some splice connectors.

I pulled the cover off, cleaned with Deoxit D5 then soldered all those ******* together.
BTW, all the connectors in the C5 body wiring suck. Simply a poor design by today's standards.
Some I've pulled apart had smashed female pins from the original assembly.
Very poor.

Yes, I was having o2 sensor grounding issues on mine at the splice pack.
I found this connector that I'm going to replace with. Only 6 pins but I'll combine 2 of them to make it work

I see that also sell a pro kit ( for 3x the price) that has a selection of contacts that will do 22-10 AWG so if you have wires larger than 16AWG, that might be useful.
