Wanted - headlight connector
Posted: 24 Dec 2018 10:07

One of the indivdual single pin connectors where the main wiring loom connects with the headlight wiring harness. It connects one of the limit switches to the motor relay. It's very nasty and corroded so I'm after replacing both the male and female. Can anyone give me part nubers and/or tell me where I can get one?
Thanks in anticipation
Season's greetings to all

Thanks for a very sensible suggestion.

Maximum current of 10 amps for the weatherproof one though. Assuming it operates both headlights may not leave much of a safety margin.

Thanks for the thought.
This particular connection connects one of the limit switches to the relay controlling the headlight lift motor. It does not carry the motor current nor the power to the headlight itself, so I would be surprised if it carried as much as half an amp.

as opposed to the 0amp rating for the OEM rubbish.
The connector in question doesn't carry current to the headlights themselves, it only runs to the limit switches of the lift pods.

I used these connectors during the restoration of my DHC, and so far no problems with them.

Now that looks a very nice job Beans, weatherproof as well. Think I may have to use that idea.
