Part number/model of crank position sensor connector
Greetings,
I hope all of you having a great day.
Long story short my friend has a Cherokee 1994 and broke the crank position sensor (CKP) connector.
The connector that is connected to the original harness not the one that comes with the sensor itself (the one with female terminals - kindly check attachment number 3 for your reference).
I'm tired of searching for it with no luck.
If anyone has the model or part number of the connector please let me know.
I tried searching in harness websites, EFI connectors and Delphi connectors to find replacements
**Attachments**

The shape of the required connector
Best regards.

The round pin is the early-94 while the later-94 and newer have flat pins. I don't see a kit on Rock Auto for the earlier models, but the Sensor is the same, just the connector is different. It may be easier to change both over to the newer style...

If the only thing that is broken is the lock part of the connector shove the connector together and drive the Jeep; I have been driving my 88 for years that way. Every once in while it doesn’t start and I haft to pull apart and replug together the connectors; but this maybe because by Crank Position Sensor even with cruiser54 modification it only produces the minimum voltage; which is not the connectors fault.

I had that setup, with a zip tie, on the coil in my 1996 XJ.
Eventually that failed, and it resulted in a lot of tail chasing until I determined it was that connector, then found one in the junk yard and replaced the bad one.
As noted above, connecting the sensor straight into the harness is another option.

A declaration of interest: I hate those locking connectors, especially now they are 20+ years old & disintegrate if you look at them too hard! An early example of making things needlessly difficult because of a problem that didn't exist. Even if there is some point in them for vehicles which are likely to be subject to more shocks & vibrations than average - why do they all have to be different?
Now, to matters of moment: the 1st one I broke was when I removed the e-fan, on the basis it was supposed to be latched so couldn't be trusted to stay together without, I threaded a thin ziptie between the wires & pulled the 2 halves together, that's worked fine for several years, including being removed & replaced, probably twice.
When I fitted a new coil I discovered they were only available with the pre-'97 connector - but you could buy an adaptor - at what I considered an outrageous price (more than the last coil I'd purchased!) - and it made the wire ridiculously long. So, I simply cut off the connectors & replaced them with crimp-on spades (or bullets, I can't now actually remember which). That must've been 4 years ago: all good!

96 xj runs fine but P1391 code persistent
earlier this month. They no longer make the round pin connector. The only one I could find is the blade style.goodyoleboy
