Need Help locating a part that is used on the electrical connections throughout the H3 engine bay. It is a small grey clip that has a indent in the middle and slips into the back of each of the coil on plugs as well as the MAF and TB. Thank you for any/all help...

It's called a 'CPA' (Connector Position Assurance), and yes, it is a secondary backup to make sure the plug does not disconnect. If you can get a closeup shot of the connector unplugged, I'll check my catalog for the part number. Or better yet if you can get a pic of the clip itself. I don't know if you can buy them individually.....may have to buy a quantity.

 

Did some more searching and came across this thread which shows a very good picture of them but uncertain if this part # cross ref's. too a H3.

Each of the above treads show an example of the part needed with close up and information. Again, though I'm uncertain if this crosses over to 07 H3?

The link to Mouser is the correct part. 829-15317832 Automotive Connectors | Mouser
These are called Delphi GT connectors. I'm an engineer at Delphi and we use these for our Oxygen Sensor Connectors. I know we have the connectors, seals, and TPA's (Terminal Position Assurance), but I'm not sure if we have the CPA's. I'll check Monday, and if we have them I'll grab a handful.

 

Wow thankx
that is really cool.

cool indeed

 

I checked and we don't use the CPA's since we bench test our sensors and not on the vehicle. That IS the correct part on the Mouser link you posted. You can get 10 clips, shipped, for about $6.50.
