Electric fan plug question - what kind of connectors? Metri-pack? Weather-pack?
I have a set of dual fans from a 1999 Camaro. What type of electrical connectors go to each fan? They don't look like Metri-pack connectors, unless they're the 480 series (which I've never actually seen.) Or are they Weather-pack? Or something else?
I could always cut, splice, solder, and heat shrink tube some old plugs on... but I'd rather crimp on new terminals and make fresh new plug assemblies.

Thanks guys. I already have a couple sets of plugs, I just want to know what style connectors they are. I want to make my own assemblies, rather than solder on pigtails.
I know I have come across Weather-pack and other types of connectors on GM vehicles. I don't think the injectors are Metri-pack or Weather-pack, and I don't think that big round plug on the 4L60E & 4L80E transmission is, either.
I forgot to bring a fan plug home with me. I am sure that they didn't assemble like the metri-pack connectors used all through the engine bay. There wasn't a retainer or round cable seals visible on the connector. I want to say the back of the connector where the wires came out was almost flat. It was weird...
EDIT: Actually, if you look at the pic in the above link, you can see that there are no nubs on the sides to hold the retaining clip in place. The connector looks weird, but the metal terminal does resemble the Metri-pack 480 terminal.

Alright, for anyone who cares, I think I have it figured out. It looks like they're Metri-pack 630 connectors, good for 46 amps continuous. Here are my sources:

For Delphi product specs, you can look here: (I think this is the one, but I'm not 100% sure)

And to see the weird one-piece connector seal with no cable retainer that I was talking about, you can look here:

I'll post some pics after I take one of these apart.
