Knock sensor and fan temp switch are the same style connector. Fan switch is in the the passengers side head and the knock sensor is in the block on the same side.

so, yours broke too.
When you find the connector at a store, let us know where and how much.

Orielley's Auto Parts, cost about $6.80. They pulled out the catalog and I found it for the knock sensor. I am using it along with a cooling fan switch on my 3.1 to control the electric fan, through a relay of couse. I'll dig around in the garage to see if I can find the box with the part number on it. It is a Borg Warner part. It is hanging from the rear of the passenger side head, attached to the fan switch.

No, it is a little trick I have found over time, I smear it with my finger around the gap, it helps prevent small oil leaks that might otherwise occur.
