Putting my van back together, got a couple of questions. Can someone tell me what this plate is, and where it goes? I don't remember where it was. It's been a couple of months since I took it off, when taking everything apart to replace the intake manifold gasket.

I started a couple of months ago. Had bad fracture that interfered with getting it done. All better now.

Looks like a harness attaches to the plastic piece .

It's metal. No idea where I took it off from. I started this just before Thanksgiving, then got injured and couldn't finish it right away. Meanwhile I forgot where everything went.

I finished with it today, everything seems ok, I still have this piece left over.

Look up the part number . It attaches wires on front pass side.

If you have a part number you can Google it.
If you don't have a part number you can go to a site like. mymoparparts.com and look at a diagram of the general location of the part and what it connects to.
Example of diagram above. - and part number and name will be listed.

Or ...watch some YouTube videos of the area of the car you took it from ....most likely you will see it disassembled during the video....

Thanks Vern14, I did look up the part number, before I asked about it. All I found aside from places to buy another one, us this diagram.

Unfortunately, I can't tell where it goes. I looked where the line points, and can't see where it goes.

I'm hoping someone will take a pic of one in place, and post so I can see where to put it.

I did all that. Watched several videos. Never saw it. Thanks anyway.

That part break down shows it going on the front of the engine below the intake or on the front of the intake.
This is to late for this time but next time you work on your car, before you remove a part take a picture of it. Do this for every part. Then use these pics to reassemble the parts.

Thanks, I usually do, especially with weird little things like this plate. It wouldn't have been this confusing, if I hadn't had to stop working on it for so long. Breaking my hand wasn't part of the plan.
You wouldn't happen to know the name of that part, would you? If there is one. The diagram I found didn't, really. Just "bracket, engine wiring", which, if you search, brings up all kinds of other bits, but not this one.

It’s on the passenger side front of motor somewhere, look where the holes line up to bolt it on . Also look for any witness marks where it may have attached . Look at different wire harnesses for witness marks, like maybe glue from the tape that held it to the bracket . If you still can’t locate it’s home post some pics of the area on here ,we may be able to point it out. It’s difficult not seeing whats in front of you.

Thanks, I'll do that tomorrow if it's not raining.
