Matching Connectors

[ERover82]

How do you match connectors to replace them and where do you buy them?

In particular I need to replace the coil pack connector. It's a 6 pin, 5 used. Would you just use some other type?

Have you tried Marty, Paul Grant, Will Tillery?

yeah suppose I could butt connect a used pig tail, or try to dissect the pins from a used one and find new pins that match.

Was hoping someone knew where to get these new though.

See what brand is molded into the connector, look at that company's product line an narrow it down to the right connector. That's what I've done in the past.

it is going to be PITA to get the proper connectors from the vendor. Best way is to cut and solder in a pigtail from one of the used parts slangers.

I use weather pack connectors NAPA has them

Most of the Discovery stuff is either AMP or sourced from the maker of the unit it is connecting to.

Your local dealer should be able to get it for you. The electrical library should have the part number.

I believe that it's an AMP Econoseal III 6-way female connector.

Wow you're good. That's the one.

I looked through dozens of catalogs for those things.

Is that the same one used on the AEL fuel pump?
