Little electrical pins !!!!!!

Post by mollers » Thu Apr 04, 2013 9:54 am

Mornig boys ;)

After some new electrical pins for my connector that joins my fan up with the loom ?????. Go the pins out and as expected, they are very corroded and need replacing :cry: . Can somebody point me in the right direction, ebay or something ?? will need a crimper as well i guess ??

All help appreciated as not a electrical type guy lol.

Cheers :peace:

Mine are knackered too. Explains why the fan doesn't work... lol You might possibly find that someone makes a replica connector, or that Honda actually sell them. Some while ago, somebody posted a link to a genuine Honda repair kit for the alternator connector, although it cost a small fortune!

You can buy spades on eBay or from Halfrauds, etc. You just need to measure up to make sure you get the right size as there are lots of different sized spades. It doesn't help that some are sold by wire diameter, while others appear to be sold according to the size of the female spade. Persuming it's the wire end of the spade that's corroded, I'd take what's left of the thing to Halfords and compare against what they have.

Failing that, if you're not worried about keeping the original plug, just get something like this and bin the current one. I've used a few bits from this source, and all seems well so far.....

Maplins sell good crimp/solder spades in loads of sizes if you have a shop near you, try not to use the cheap the coloured crimp on stuff from halfrauds there nasty!

I doubt either Halfrauds or Maplin will have the correct connectors, you need a proper auto factor or wholesaler.

This is what you want: eBay
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.
