Default help please ! I broke my TV cable

I was trying to adjust my TV Cable and broke the plastic clip that holds the cable to the throttle body. Anybody have a clue were I can pick up a new cable or clip???

It's on a 96 ram 2500 5.9l 360 4wd if it matters.

junkyard or dealership. you cannot just get the clip. you need to get a whole new TV cable.

If one of the clips is still there you can feed it back in and rig it to stay with a couple of zip ties by looping them around the bracket and the back of the TV cable. Not a permanent fix, but it'll get you to the junkyard or dealership.

definitely find a U-pull it or something. my tv cable was busted as well, went to the junkyard, pulled it off(quite simple btw) and paid like 5 bucks for it. score.

Really? The TV cable for my Jeep (probably the same cable) cost me $65 last winter from the dealer. Can't complain because I was up and going the next day though.
