02 sensor cable connector melted
What is the female side wiring called/part #?
seems to have slipped past heat shield and melted on exhaust right where the header meets x pipe. 2016 stingray z51 performance exhaust with Borla atak. Discovered while investigating the infamous exhaust control valve actuator problem. Have her up on stands and most exhaust pulled out now. Advise and wisdom welcome please and thank you.
edit:
npp and afm it’s the automatic tranny

Did you melt both connector halves or just one? If one, is it on the sensor pigtail or the main harness?
Also keep in mind that on at least some years, the front and rear o2 connectors are different.
I’d just buy an O2 sensor extension harness and use the connectors off of that.

I don’t have the p/n handy and I’m traveling currently. However, I bet someone on here knows.
Ballenger Motorsports sells them albeit with quite the markup. They also sell just the connector bodies, pins, etc. They sell genuine Molex. There are others that sell knockoffs for about half the price.
