87 - 5KCSQT - need connector repair for diff lock switch

[Kurt W. Deschler]

I used plastic welder to repair my diff lock solenoid, which was cracked.
Plastic welder is a special 2-part epoxy for bonding plastics that is
available from several manufacturers (Devcon, Permatex, etc). You can find
it at both FLAPS and hardware stores. Usually hardens in 5-10 min and full
strength in 24 hrs. The stuff holds up so good, that I generally consider
it a permanent repair. If you are missing a nipple, just get a vacuum
coupler and plastic welder it onto the box. Ditto for missing pieces, just
plastic welder on pieces of flat plastic to span the holes.  A source of
durable flat plastic is the tape separators in the console. Good luck.
