Question:

Throttle body wiring harness help?

I recently changed out the spark plugs on my 2006 dodge charger 6 cyl 3.5L. Had to take apart the box with the air filter and disconnect a whole lot of wiring harnesses to get to the plugs. When I put the engine cover back on and started reattaching all the wires and hoses, the red and black tab on my throttle body wiring harness snapped off. The harness is attached to the throttle body but now there is no way to remove it. My check engine light and ETC light came on while driving with code P0507 which is either dirty throttle body or vacuum leak on engine. I do not have the money to take the car to a dealership to fix it and cannot find the harness online (nor would I be able to install it). Any solution would be greatly appreciated.

Answer:

Damaging a wiring harness was unlucky and that's a pretty penny to fix. Can't really take it to a mechanic because the Throttle control has to be relearned after being fixed and that's something you can only get done at a dealership. The manual itself says the car is driveable with the ETC light on but you'll want to get it fixed if you ever want to change your spark plugs in the future.
you can take the vehicle to a competent mechanic instead of overpaying at a dealership but get it done before you damage something in the engine because without the data from the sensors its not running right. get it done asap but get it done.
