Title: How to identify/replace this plug
Post by neenertronics on 09/02/21 at 12:32:44

Hi I have a '96. My headlight, front signals, and horn have been going out intermittently, and I've narrowed the issue down to a plug, see attached photo. The plug is located under the tank and is the foreward-most plug there. The female end of the plug seems to be compromised.

What is the name of this plug so I can google better? Is it part of the main wiring harness?

10 pin plug , yellow in color

Just a guess

I am not sure you can buy the plug....and if you do how are you going to splice it in?  The wires are crimped into the female/male connectors, and then those are retained in the connector.

If it was me.....I would cut the offending wires on both sides of the connector, and then take those wires and crimp on new "single" connectors for that wire.  You are basically just connecting that wire without using the "10 pin yellow connector" as described by Ruttly.

make sure the wires aren't broken then clean with Deoxit and lubricate with dielectric grease.

Are all the connectors in it used?

You can pull the internal bits,,different plugs take different tool.
Either word in a jumper or move the wire with the burned connector or clean it up and make it work.
Bullet connector, crimp on and you are off to the races.

Dang Ruttly, that PhD in electrical engineering is paying dividends. I never would have been able to develop that answer, not even with the help of the internet.  Impressed!

Thanks Dave, I think I'll go with your suggestion... think I already have everything I need for that too!

I've removed a bunch of those. Pretty finicky the first few times, but a good light and a tiny jewelers screwdriver and you can trip the clip and pull the wire and what it's crimped to.
If there is an unused pair you can pull those tiny bits and use them on the wires that are damaged.
Question is
What caused the problem and is it fixed or when you hook it up is there Goin to be a problem?

Or was that heat created by a resistive connection?

Okay, I Embiggenated that picture,, if there are spare parts, I'm not seeing  them.

Looks like the retainer clip is visible, which would make the wire have to come out towards you. The quick easy is what Dave said.
