WB O2 Sensor Connector Again

[Shirley, Mark R]

Auto parts stores typically don't have ability to buy OEM style connectors.
This is a Honda harness, and is most likely a Yazaki connector.  Yazaki does
have a North american division, Yazaki-NA, in Canton, MI on Haggerty rd just
north of Ford Rd.  If you called over there, you might be able to get ahold
of a sales engineer who could help.  Sorry I don't have the phone number
handy.
I say Yazaki, because most Jap companies tend to stick to Jap suppliers,
unlike
US OEMs.  We use the cheapo du jour suppliers.  To get anywhere, you will
most likely
have to pose as a harness supplier.  Honda may have an exclusivity agreement
on this connector, or you could get lucky and it's a yazaki catalog item.
Anybody
with a WBO2 sensor, if you look closely on the connector body, there should
be a
molded in name somewhere.  Unless its a cheap knockoff, which sometimes
happens on 
higher volume parts. (unlikely)  Anybody that checks, and let us know the
markings
on the connector body, I should be able to identify the supplier.
