Hack off the O2 sensor connector and the connector from the harness that plugs into the O2. Leave plenty of wire when you cut off the connectors. You now have a male and female O2 connector. Simply solder the two ends together to make your own extention cable, being sure to match up the wires correctly. You will need to find two Taurus's, thunderbirds, and many other Ford cars since they only have 1 O2 sensor. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
