6 PIN rear lamp connector is used to repair the electrical connection between the vehicle's wiring harness and the rear lamp. It is useful when replacing a damaged connector, loose or corroded contacts, and when recreating the connection after local overheating of the connector.
This solution allows for the repair of the plug itself without the need to replace the entire wiring harness, provided that its other components are functional.
A damaged or loose electrical connection of the lamp can cause, among other things:
Note: such symptoms may also result from a damaged ground, bulb socket, wires, or the lamp itself. The actual cause of the fault should be determined before repair.
Important: do not determine the order of wires based solely on the color of the insulation. The assignment of contacts must correspond to the original connection in the specific vehicle.
If the appearance of the old connector is ambiguous, it is advisable to send a photo of the plug from the contact and latch side before purchasing.
The offered kit is intended for self-termination of existing wires. It is not a ready harness with factory-mounted cable sections.
If the damage also includes wires over a greater length, a version with wires, available from CCY as a separate product no. 330790, may be a more convenient solution. Before choosing, check the compatibility of both versions with the lamp socket.
Can this kit be used if the old connector is melted?
Yes, provided that the new housing fits the lamp and the repair also includes damaged wires and contacts. The cause of overheating should be checked, especially the condition of the ground connection.
Is the kit ready to plug in without using tools?
No. The connectors require proper attachment to the wires and seating in the housing.
Do I need to replace the entire rear lamp?
Not always. If only the connector of the harness is damaged, and the contacts and other components of the lamp are functional, usually repairing the connection is sufficient. If the lamp contact is also damaged, it requires separate repair or replacement of the appropriate part.
Does the connector fit every example of the mentioned models?
This cannot be guaranteed without comparing the plug. Before purchasing, check its physical shape and locking mechanism.
