2011 MaxxForce injector harness connections oil soaked...

Hi all,

Just joined the site and I need a tad bit of help. Is it a regular deal that the MaxxForce 9 & 10 valve cover gasket/harness that connects to each injector be full of oil or flooded? Last one I did which was last week had them all soaked with oil inside each connector, found a bad wire on harness & bad injector, fixed both and that truck runs like a champ again. One I am working on now has an intermittent misfire showing after the regen it just had on #6 injector. The connection to # 6 injector connection is also oil soaked inside and I am wondering and thinking that this issue I have is directly related to the oil in the connections!!!

Thoughts????

Thanks for any help.

Its a 2011 with 108444 miles. I repair the trucks for the company I work for and and I got out of heavy truck 20+ years ago, but am right back in the mix of them once again. Vehicle needed a forced regen and got that done. While performing the regen, the #6 inj. was throwing a code. I don't have access to pinbox or breakout harness's so a multimeter and a boss I have is the way we have to roll for now. Runs great sometimes, then sometimes not, kind of like flipping a switch and dropping a cyl. and then it comes back on later on... Learning that the harness's have issue's as well as the ipr's . Neat engines, just need to learn the quirks of them for future. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks guys, my boss will want to pin check anyway but I am willing to bet $5. it's the oil soaked harness's.
