Just curious, did you use new pins, and where did you get them? I'm an automotive electrical technician that deals with vendor supplied commercial chassis, that we add our systems to, and being a big corporation, the purchasers never know what to look for. We mainly deal with Freightliner and International. If we had a faulty pin, I would be able to have one of the floor managers special order them.
So I actually bought them off Amazon. The multi pack i bought was perfect. I also bought a couple single packs of females. Once I took out the corroded piece in the blue module I was repairing, I matched it up the the multi pack and found one that was the exact same size for wire and for connection to bottom of fuse box. It was a 1.5mm female connector. The single picture I sent you is the one I needed for all 3 repairs.

There was no re using the connectors in the module, they were destroyed due to the corrosion. I also had to cut each wire back pretty far to get a good non corrosive connection.


U can buy the connectors in mopar parts giant as well. There just more expensive.

That's great info.

Could you provide an Amazon link for the connectors?

I really hope it does help someone else. I honestly thought I was screwed after buying my truck. But I did the research and did not allow a mainstream tire company rob me out of 2,500 for a whole new wire harness.

If anyone has any questions i can help as best as I can. I would recommend spending $20 on all data so you can get your own wire diagrams and figure out your issue that way: it was very helpful for myself.

Man do we get screwed by Canuck Amazon :mad: The one kit isn't even available by the looks of it.


I occasionally order from Amazon.com and pickup at my NY post box.

Paying an exchange of $1.50 for every $US spent, gas and bridge fees, and I still save a few $.

Amazon are a bunch of crooks the way they screw us in Canadastan.

Just be careful if you buy from .com with a Canadastan credit card. Be sure to click the option that says your credit card works for US funds or they'll gouge you more.

Ask me how I know.

My US cc got lost during the last Canadastan Post mail strike but the replacement should be here soon. :cool:
