The brake proportioning valve connector broke off.

OK so today I'm replacing the master cylinder on my van and when I went to disconnect the wire from the switch in the proportioning valve the damn thing broke.
Does any one know where to get said piece of plastic crap or will I end up having to replace the entire proportioning valve?

Thank you in advance.

Did you break off the connector on the part in this link: http://www.autozone.com/brakes-and-...s-u-3-0l-mfi/47565_0_0/?CJPID=3663046cmpid=cj

It broke where the threaded area starts.

You have a few choices:

1. Leave it the way it is if it's not leaking. You won't have RABS.
2. Purchase a new part from the link in the previous post. It's a job to replace it.
3. Try to find one at a junkyard cheap.

I bought one years ago because mine had a short, but I never got around to replacing it because it's a big job. There's limited access plus you have to bleed the whole brake system.

Well I managed to zip tie it into place so the ABS light is out.
But after bleeding the system I realized that my initial fear was true. I need to replace the booster.

Did you check the plastic check valve to see if that it working?

It seems to be.
Rear ABS Light came on with it off. It went out after it was reconnected.
