What might be this adhesive stuff on my ignition coil connector?
Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked on June 3, 2021
I just went to swap ignition coils for testing and noticed that the harness connectors are held on with a gummy black adhesive. Removing the connectors effectively removed the adhesive. I’d like to re-adhesive the connectors.
Here are the images:

It appears to me that the connector's locking mechanism has been broken off (by a previous owner perhaps??) and a makeshift fix was to apply some silicone sealant to keep the connector from coming loose.

If you don't have a suitable adhesive around and can't buy any (or quickly enough) then I would look at using a zip tie or two to hold the connectors in place.
A bit of ingenuity and a figure 8 or some-such will work.
