Can anyone id this connector? 3 wire positions, had a red tab thing, which broke as soon as I touched it. It's from the heater water pump on a buick regal with 2.0 ltg. IMG_3939.jpegIMG_3940.jpegIMG_3941.jpeg

This is the other side of the connector, on the pump. Appears to be a metal shell. IMG_3943.jpegIMG_3944.jpeg

The whole connector is baked, and the primary engagement bit is borked, and it won't stay on. red tab broke when pushed on it with my thumb.

Appears to be CE 3125
Possibly compatible with this on Amazon
This site has multiple views.
The Amazon replacement may work though, since it appears you just have the basic 3 pin, (power, ground, pulse-width modulation)
I don't know any of this as facts. This is just my best guess.

The “ce3125” is just a TYCO TE 1488991-1 copy with like 20-30x markup. Same family (MCON 1.2) as the brown connectorI posted prior. I’m almost certain the OP has 4-2098541-1, which has a brown body and blue inner seal.IMG_2867.jpeg

There’s also the 4-x variants of both connectors, which have a primary (red) pull-latch:

the part has no writing on it except 'pa66-gf35', which informs m it's made of nylon66 and 35% glass fiber. It's a little surprising it's as cooked as it is, actually.


Thank you @andypress and @Stelzer, that is definitely my piece. I've ordered the pigtail from Amazon, because I don't feel like figuring out what pins I'd need, and what tool to crimp them, etc. I'll look at the rest of the connectors, and see if they're using these instead of metri pack in other places, and figure out if it's worth getting a kit to make up others.

The Amazon part arrived today. It's the right part, but it doesn't include the secondary latch (the goddamned red tab thing). I'm okay with that, somehow. It'll be a while before I rip the car apart to fix the wires (the pump will have to come out again. I think I can clamp off the hoses and do it without draining the coolant, which requires removing the underbody plastic covers, and I don't want to do that again.)
