Default Am I missing a part?

I have a '98 LS1 so my temperature sending unit is the 3 prong plug. I believe I'm missing a clip or fastener of some sort that hold the prong to the drivers side head, it shakes itself loose. I cant find any pictures of the part and the dealership said I would have to order a whole new sending unit. I thought that was kinda dumb. Can anyone tell me where I can get a clip or show me a picture of the piece I need?

Post a pic of it. Some people listen to auto parts salemans saying other parts from so and so will work when they really dont.

Here's a picture, the head-side (with the prongs) has got to be missing a fastener. The female side (wire-side) has a clip (the kind you lift and slide back) on it but I have nothing to fasten it to. Does anyone have one or know where I can get one?

Your sensor is broke. Just replace the sensor and you should be fine. Pull the broke crap outta the plug. Shoot me a PM if you need help with anything. Here is mine.
