![]() I'd love to never deal with this connection again. I've a reman'd engine computer in the mail. Inside the socket there is a little arm which puts pressure on the pin/socket. The pins on the circuit board are not tapered. While similar to molex connectors they are not the same. One of the fatter wires is for the field control of the alternator. Read: it is not going to be easy to get fatter wire attached directly to socket inside connector. The tail end of the connector is enclosed over the wire insulation. Would be nice to just splice in a new connector without worrying about the possibly thinner gauge Not sure yet, but the wire color coding is almost exactly the same. Today I drove to the junk yard and scored 2 connectors from 89 mopars in pretty good condition, but I believe 2 or more of the wires is a gauge or 2 thinner than what is on My Vehicle. ![]() Right now I have to wiggle tweak push and pull to get everything working normally, then immobilize the connector in order to drive. The pressure required to reseat the connector with this extra copper in the pin/socket apparently has broken the solder joints on the potted circuit board. The upside was that everytime things went wrong with the engine I knew it was this dang connector acting up again. Rtv'ing the probed wires had only slowed down the process. ![]() This temporary fix turned a bit permanent, and some other wires suffered the same fate and treatment over the years. The 14 way connector was compromised by techs prior to, or early in my ownership, probing the wire insulation.Įventually wires broke entirely and my 'temporary', get me home fix( 11 years ago) was to drill through the connector insert bare stranded wire through the socket connector so that it was sandwiched between pin on the circuit board and the socket on the connector, and reseat connector. My ECM has 2 connectors, a 14 way connector and a 60 way connector.
